A new paradigm for underwater noise management

What is it about?

Rather than trying to establish thresholds for marine animal exposure to underwater noise, we are calling on managers to simply cap current noise levels, and that any new projects ensure that there is no net increase in underwater noise levels. This regulation will drive technological innovation.

Why is it important?

As concern about increasing underwater noise is growing, this is a solution oriented paper that managers can use to evaluate the environmental impacts of new proposals, and development proponents can use as a guide to minimize their environmental impact.
