I didn't find anything about the potential effects on marine life. I'm not in the market for this, so maybe it's obvious to those who are, but it would be nice to address it somewhere for the uninitiated.

But their modem[1] uses NATO's JANUS standard[2], which communicates at 11.5 kHz, which is just audible to humans, but well within range of marine mammals[3].
