Editorial: observing ocean sound

Ocean sound is emerging as a key health indicator of marine ecosystems, increasingly at risk of anthropogenic stressors (Duarte et al., 2021). The full potential of this Essential Ocean Variable (EOV) keeps developing (Tyack, 2018). The science and methods resulting from this EOV address an increasing number of domains, from geophysics to bio- and eco-acoustics. It also offers opportunities to respond to questions as varied as geohazard and marine life occurrence, and provides potentially cost-effective solutions to monitor biodiversity and ecosystems at large.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
