Which habitat modification is likely when intense coastal shipping causes background noise?

💡 Explanation

Coastal shipping noise triggers masking behavior change, because the background noise reduces echolocation effectiveness, therefore cetaceans must adapt by altering signal usage, rather than bandwidth, krill changes, or stranding resistance.
