Description

The purpose of this project is to provide Defra and BEIS with information and a series of proposals to inform the management of impulsive noise in English waters; in particular, whether a new approach is needed for noise mitigation.

The work will investigate regulatory requirements and mitigation for UXO clearance, seismic surveys, and offshore wind piling activities. The geographic scope would be both inside and outside of Marine Protected Areas (e.g. harbour porpoise SACs) in English waters (0 - 200 nautical miles or to the median line). The research would investigate both existing and new methods for noise abatement and mitigation, including approaches in use or tested in other countries.
