there's also evidence that boat noise simply stresses these whales out.
还有证据表明，船只产生的噪音还会让这些鲸鱼倍感压力。
After the September 11th attacks, researchers in Canada's Bay of Fundy compared underwater noise levels during a period of reduced ship traffic to the stress-related hormone levels in the right whale population.
911袭击事件发生后，加拿大芬迪湾的研究人员对通航船只较少时水下的噪声级别与露脊鲸鲸群体内与压力相关的激素水平进行了比较。
They discovered a 6 decibel noise decrease in the bay after 9/11,
他们发现，911事件之后，海湾的噪音降低了6分贝，
which correlated to lower baseline levels of stress related hormones.
而同一时期，露脊鲸与压力相关激素的基线水平也有所下降。
Effects like this go all the way down the food chain.

but if those authorizations go through, companies could be conducting seismic testing in the Atlantic by Fall 2017.
然而，如果这些勘测得到了批准，2017年秋季，企业就可能已经在大西洋进行地震勘探了。

In 2014, the International Maritime Organization adopted guidelines for reducing commercial ship noise levels

It's the start of a 10-year plan to assess the human impact on underwater sound and the measures required to reduce it.
从而开启了一项十年计划，旨在评估人类对水下声音的影响以及降低这种影响需要采取的措施。
Seismic surveys can work better, too.
地震勘测也是可以更好地发挥作用的。
Norway has started multi-client surveys, so that seismic data from a particular area is only collected once.
挪威已开始进行多客户调查，以便来自特定区域的地震数据不会被重复收集。
US authorities are considering a similar process.
美国当局也正在考虑类似的措施。
The ocean is huge, we've explored less than 5 percent of it so far.
