Perhaps link should be changed to the source article?

Is it just me, or does it seem kind of weird that there is a link to another article about how the blasts of compressed air used to make these maps kills a great many creatures.

I think it's just you , About 3/4 of the way through reading the article I was actually wondering what effect this survey would of caused to marine life that was close to what must be an incredibly loud noise to reach the seafloor and then bounce back to receivers close to the surface.

Not only can loud sounds cause deafness in humans but a loud enough sound will kill you.

I had to disable my ad blocker for this to work.

Should make a cool color 3d print.
