What we don't know

Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.

  • Whether the new high-frequency pingers will prove more effective than existing lower-frequency devices.
  • The long-term impact of the acoustic signals on other marine life in the area.
