  • Burrard Inlet Underwater Noise Study
    Vancouver Fraser Port Authorit Burrard Inlet underwater noise study: 2020 final report ECHO Program study summary This study was undertaken for the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority-led Enhancing Cetacean Habitat and Observation (ECHO) Program and project partner Tsleil-Waututh Nation with financial support from Transport Canada to learn more about underwater noise and cetacean presence in Burrard Inlet. Building upon the 2019 monitoring project in Burrard Inlet, this project set out to monitor underwater noise and the presence of cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoise) in Burrard Inlet, a marine mammal habitat and a key waterway for commercial shipping, port-related activities, and passenger transportation. This document summarizes the project question and describes the methods, key findings, and conclusions. What questions was the study trying to answer? The second year of the Burrard Inlet underwater noise study sought to evaluate longer-term trends in total ambient noise and marine mammal presence, while building upon the results from 2019. Who conducted the project? SMRU Consulting North America (SMRU) was awarded the contract for the 2019 monitoring program, and was retained by Vancouver Fraser Port Authority to continue monitoring though 2020 at fewer sampling locations. What methods were used? Bottom-mounted SoundTrap hydrophone recorders were deployed in two locations in the inner and outer harbour: one at Burrard Inlet East near the Tsleil-Waututh Nation reserve lands and Burnaby petroleum terminals, and one in English Bay between anchorages 1 and 3. Acoustic data were collected over approximately one year between February 2020 and February 2021. The figure below shows the approximate locations of the hydrophone deployments.

  • 1 the Impacts of Noise on Southern Resident Killer Whales
    The Impacts of Noise on Southern Resident Killer Whales: A Literature Review By Dr. Rianna Burnham November 29, 2018 Introduction In October 2018, I was asked by the Province of British Columbia to conduct a literature review and prepare a high-level summary of the impacts of underwater noise on southern resident killer whales (SRKWs). In order to do so, I reviewed peer-reviewed scientific literature, with a focus on the most recently published material. I also focused as much as possible on the literature that related directly to SRKWs in the Salish Sea and surrounding waters. Other sources have been included to set the salient points into context. Executive Summary Killer whales rely on sound for all aspects of their life history and have shown sensitivity to acoustic disturbance, especially broadband noise, which creates acoustic additions that range from low to high frequencies. In foraging areas of the SRKWs in the Salish Sea, anthropogenic noise inputs are primarily from vessel passage, with the waterways consistently used by large vessels such as commercial fishing vessels, tug boats, tankers, ferries, and cargo ships. Cargo vessels contribute the most to the ambient noise levels. Contributions are made in the same frequency range as that used by SRKWs, which can mask important conspecific communications (between individual killer whales) and echolocation signals. This reduces the efficiency of feeding and food sharing within the group. Vocal modifications have been noted as a means to overcome the noise. Calls are made louder and longer, at the energetic expense of the signaller. The noise additions accumulate to become a ‘chronic pollutant’, which then decreases the quality of SRKW habitat.
