dB = decibel; SELcum = sound exposure level in units of dB referenced to 1 micropascal squared second; SPLpk = peak sound pressure level in units of dB referenced to 1 micropascal.
1 The maximum density available for any month was used for each species to estimate the maximum potential exposures i.e., exposure estimates for all species are not for the same month.
2 Subset of fin whale behaviors used to approximate model parameters.
3 Fin whale used as proxy species for exposure modeling.
4 Subset of sperm whale and Atlantic spotted dolphin behaviors used to approximate model parameters.
5 Subset of sperm whale behaviors used to approximate model parameters.
6 Harbor seal used as proxy species for exposure modeling.
7 Calculated exposures with 10 dB for harbor porpoises were <1 but >0.5; therefore they were rounded up to the nearest whole number.
Again, only the estimated Level B
harassment exposures for the maximum
design pile driving schedule are presented here Table 17.
