This is a special issue associated with the 8th International Meeting on the Effects of Sound in the Ocean on Marine Mammals (ESOMM) held last year (2024) in the Netherlands.

The TOC is listed below and this issue includes articles as well as the symposium programme and abstracts (with index) from the meeting.

All articles are open access thanks to sponsorship by EnerGeo (https://energeoalliance.org/).
