The Joint Action Underwater Noise in the Marine Environment was adopted by JPI Oceans in May 2020 with the purpose of promoting a pan-European, cross-disciplinary partnership, for the integration of different sectors of the scientific research community.
After identifying priorities, research gaps and needs on the state of impacts, technology, sound propagation, and measurements, a joint call for proposals was launched in December 2021.
Five projects were selected for funding revolving around two themes:
• The effects of anthropogenic noise pollution on marine ecosystems
• Innovative seismic sources as an option for quieter and effective alternatives to conventional marine geophysical exploration
The selected projects are:
• ORCHESTRA | ecOsystem Responses to Constant offsHorE Sound specTRA | Coordinator: Maarten Boersma, Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (Germany).
• DeuteroNoise| Characterization of maritime noise in different European basins and its impact on ecological relevant deuterostome invertebrates | Coordinator: Lucia Manni, University of Padua (Italy).
• DIAPHONIA | DIagnostic framework to Assess and Predict tHe impact Of underwater NoIse on mArine species | Coordinator: Sandro Mazzariol, University of Padua (Italy).
• SONORA | Filling the gap: Thresholds assessment and impact beyond acoustic pressure level linked to emerging blue-growth activities | Coordinator: Jaime Ramis Soriano, Universidad de Alicante (Spain).
• PURE WIND | Impact of sound on marine ecosystems from offshore wind energy generation | Coordinator: Ana Širović, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, (Norway).
