Short description of the action
Ships are the dominating source of underwater noise but the existing policy instruments for ships are voluntary and abatement measures are seldom implemented. Environmental quality standards for underwater noise are currently being developed in order to address this problem. The project’s long-term aim is to propose a management strategy including control, follow-up and mitigating measures.
