I think one of the biggest overlooked environmental issues is the effect busy shipping routes have on marine life who rely on sonar and other still unknown senses to communicate in the ocean. The vibrations these ships send through the ocean have been attributed to a massive decrease in whale populations in some areas.

There is hardly anything we can do about this. For large distance freight movement, there is no other viable option. Hopefully, as the technology advances the ships may be able to navigate without the Sonars. But for now, we can designate oceanic regions with large whale populations as nature conservancies.
