Louder than jet engines: How snapping shrimp disrupt undersea studies
Tiny snapping shrimp, not whales, are the ocean's loudest animals, reaching up to 210 decibels with their claw snaps. This intense noise disrupts marine research globally, masking other animal sounds and interfering with acoustic mapping. Climate change is exacerbating the issue by increasing shrimp activity in warmer waters.
