Europe and maritime industry join forces to reduce underwater noise
Experts from around the world met in Marseille to discuss solutions to mitigate underwater noise radiated by ships, a silent but devastating problem for marine wildlife. Initiatives such as the NAVISON project, Green Marine Europe certification and the innovative Blue Visby system stand out as key to transforming shipping towards a more sustainable and ecosystem-conscious model.
Jean Pierre Auclair: “We will put hydrophones and listen to the ships”.
‘Like a rock concert near the whales’. This is what underwater noise means for some species, the scientist told La Opinión.
