Abstract

The chapter 'A Review of Acoustic Techniques for Noise Monitoring of BC Wildlife Crossing Structures' delves into the critical issue of habitat fragmentation caused by transportation networks, with a particular focus on the province of British Columbia. It discusses the impacts of noise and visual discomfort on wildlife, emphasizing the need for harmonized connections between transport infrastructure and wildlife habitats. The literature review explores the effects of anthropogenic noise on various species, including deer, elk, and bears, and introduces several acoustic techniques for noise monitoring. These techniques include the use of microphones, sound level meters, acoustic cameras, and commercial software, each with its benefits and drawbacks. The methodology section outlines potential sampling locations and durations for effective noise measurement. The chapter concludes by highlighting the importance of practical methods for monitoring traffic noise on wildlife crossing structures, offering valuable insights for professionals aiming to mitigate the adverse effects of noise pollution on wildlife.
