River dolphins, like the endangered Ganga River dolphin, face severe survival threats. Habitat loss, pollution, and human activities push their populations to the brink. One often-overlooked danger is Underwater Radiated Noise (#URN), which significantly disrupts their natural behaviours.

In our research note, we explore:

🚨The primary sources of URN and their impact on river dolphin populations
🚨 Socio-economic implications of noise pollution
🚨 Challenges in spatial planning to mitigate these effects
