Seismic tests, using ‘air guns’, are just one of theanthropologically caused marine pollutant. The aim of this paper is to examine and analyse the causesof marine pollution by noise in order to achieve better understanding, awareness of the general publicabout its impact through recognition of the effects, and finally, to synthesize protection options toprevent further pollution of the Adriati Sea, strategically significant for the Republic of Croatia.
