    Este artículo aborda la cuestión de la protección que diversas normas, nacionales e internacionales, dispensan a los animales marinos frente a la contaminación acústica de origen antropogénico. Se analiza, en particular, el régimen jurídico tuitivo de los cetáceos frente al ruido producido por los sónares de los buques de guerra.
