Noise from whale watching boats and ships headed to and from ports across the Pacific will increase when pandemic restrictions are lifted.
Added to that is a new worry: the underwater cacophony of ultra-large container ships that would visit Seattle Harbor, in the heart of the whales’ home waters, and the release of hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of toxic material dredged during the harbor project. ....
