I wish the article had a reference to the actual power used. It SOUNDS like it's quiet minimal. In which case, it'd be hard to imagine you are dealing with biologically devastating energy.
That said, the unidirectional nature of this approach also means that actual life that could be affected is a lot smaller than what happens with sonar, where the signal is blasted in all directions at a very high power.
- isoprophlex 3y agoThis, or something very similar, was posted a long time ago here. I cant find it anymore, sadly, but it was a backscatter-based communication platform that used very low power in the underwater part... And illuminated that with 210 dB sound. I guess this is similar, and equally disruptive to sea life.
