Noise as a source of marine pollution

The increased consumption of fossil fuels which are the basis of modern technological development and its inability of sustainability on known sources and resources causes an increase effort to investigate new feeds. Although the researches are conducting on the land area (lithosphere), in the last years, they are, globally speaking, particularly focused on the seabed, where the Adriatic Sea is no exception, what we can witness today. Seismic tests, using ‘air guns’, are just one of the anthropologically caused marine pollutant. The aim of this paper is to examine and analyze the causes of marine pollution by noise in order to achieve better understanding, awareness of the general public about its impact through recognition of the effects, and finally, to synthesize protection options to prevent further pollution of the Adriatic Sea, strategically significant for the Republic of Croatia.
