Comparison of navigation under different levels of shipping activity. a Representative noise map for shipping traffic. Start points, end points and waypoints for individual routes are shown in unique colours; ship locations are white. b The number of whales that have arrived at the target destination. c The mean distance of the population from the target. d The mean number of detectable whales (averaged daily). Results are presented for current shipping traffic (orange), increased traffic (dark blue) and increased traffic alongside noise mitigation measures (magenta). The lines and ribbons correspond to the mean ± one standard deviation over 10 simulations
