ClosedEuropean CommissionEU

Horizon Marine: Underwater Noise Impact Assessment is a European Commission call that funds one €10M project building the scientific methods and indicators that track how noise from human activity disrupts marine ecosystems across EU seas.

Developing and improving the scientific methods, monitoring tools and ecological indicators used to assess how anthropogenic underwater noise disturbs marine organisms and ecosystems across different trophic levels and EU sea regions, in line with the noise thresholds and guidelines EU countries have already agreed under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive — plus investigating mitigation options that protect the ecosystem services a quieter ocean provides, including carbon sequestration, and tools to measure how well those mitigation measures work.
