Abstract

Previous discussions on the impact of human activities on the marine ecosystem mainly focused on issues such as pollutant emissions, excessive carbon dioxide emissions, and overexploitation. However, anthropogenic noise is also a significant stressor in the marine ecosystem. The frequency range of anthropogenic noise overlaps with the hearing range of marine animals, which can affect their behavior, physiology, and even survival. Given the rapid changes in the ocean soundscape, there is an urgent need to develop deep-sea environmental noise monitoring technology to assess the impacts of anthropogenic noise on deep-sea ecosystems and take targeted measures to mitigate the human impact on the ocean soundscape, serving the goal of constructing a healthy ocean. This paper is based on the domestic and international research situation, reviewing the development of marine soundscape and deep-sea noise monitoring technology under the influence of human activities, introducing several international initiatives dedicated to marine noise monitoring and research, and calling for increased attention from relevant organizations and departments to the ocean soundscape. It also encourages the development of advanced technologies and the establishment of corresponding management frameworks.

Key words
