Shipping lanes increase low-frequency noise offshore; which marine organism is most directly affected?
A
Deep-diving whales that use low-frequency calls for communication and navigation, potentially experiencing masking and altered migration routes.
B
Coral polyps that rely on chlorophyll pigments, because low-frequency sound directly bleaches coral by breaking down symbiotic algae.
C
Kelp forests because sound vibrations increase nutrient uptake, causing excessive growth and shading of the seafloor community.
D
Phytoplankton because acoustic energy converts to heat, raising sea surface temperature enough to alter global circulation patterns.
