*[Enwl-eng] Human noise pollution is killing whales in their homes

[ENWL]

                        Whales have existed for millions of years. Now human noise pollution is killing them off.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        Stop Ocean Noise Pollution — Save Whales' Lives in Their Own Homes

                        The vast, deep oceans are the whales' sanctuary — their homes. But instead of offering peace and safety, these waters are now filled with a constant cacophony of chaotic, deafening human-made noise that threatens their survival.

                        The noise from shipping vessels, seismic airguns for oil and gas exploration, and even whale-watching boats is destroying the underwater world that whales depend on to survive, leaving these majestic animals struggling to navigate, communicate, and feed.

                        Whales rely on sound to "see" their world, communicate with their pods, find food, and navigate vast distances. But human activity is drowning them out. With this constant noise, their world is plunged into confusion. Noise pollution blinds whales' sensory perception, leaving them vulnerable and unable to survive.

                        All of this noise has profound consequences. Studies have linked it to whales beaching themselves in confusion, chronic stress and weakened immune systems — making whales more vulnerable to disease. On top of that, a single seismic survey can drive whales away from their feeding grounds for weeks, with devastating consequences for their populations.

                        Luckily, unlike chemical or plastic pollution, noise pollution can be stopped instantly. All it takes is human willpower to switch it off.

                        Sign the petition to demand that international leaders come together to regulate and reduce noise pollution in our oceans. They must implement measures such as requiring quieter ship designs, enforcing strict limits on seismic testing, and protecting marine areas free from industrial noise could make all the difference.

                        P.S. Whales have been on this planet for millions of years — far longer than humans. Yet, in just a few decades, our activities have pushed them to the brink. We must do better. Sign the petition.
