Boston, MA, Mar 2, 2015 – Spike Aerospace, Inc. has concluded Phase 2 of environmental research to determine how supersonic flight will affect marine wildlife.

The company is consulting with a team of marine biologists led by Tibor Mascari to conduct the study. Throughout his four phases of research, Mascari will be looking at how a sonic boom could potentially interfere with the lives of marine mammals, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates.

Many species of marine life use sound to communicate, mate, find food, fend off predators, navigate, and maintain group cohesion. “Depending on where these creatures live in the water column and what the magnitude of their vocalizations are, sonic boom activity will affect them in different ways,” says Mascari.
