The aim of the SONIC project is to develop tools to investigate and mitigate the effects of underwater noise generated by shipping. One way to study the contribution of shipping noise to the background noise in the seas is to produce shipping noise maps. The SONIC project delivers the required technical knowledge for noise mapping, based on a source definition of shipping traffic composed of various...
There is a rising concern about the environmental status of the seas of our planet. Such concern regards several kinds of anthropogenic activities and their impact on the marine ecosystems. Part of the adverse effects are recognised to be due to various forms of acoustic emissions generated by human activities related to the exploitation of sea resources and to shipping. The main regulatory bodies...
The impacts of man-made underwater noise on the marine environment have received increased attention over recent years, primarily resulting from recognition of the increased pressures placed on the oceans by human activities. Underwater noise from shipping has long been acknowledged as a major contributor to overall ambient sea noise levels. Furthermore, recent evidence from long term measurements...
The acoustic impact of ships has gained growing attention during the last few years. The Europe-an Union within the MSFD and associated TG Noise has assigned the anthropogenic noise from shipping as one of the contributors to a downgrading of the environmental status. The assessment and the corresponding mitigation measures would have to be proposed by 2016 and put in force by 2020. Therefore, it...
In the last years, harbor traffic is increasing due to commercial market spread and also tourism activities in the field of cruises. So, trying to infer about how many vessels enter or leave a harbor may give a lot of information about the behavior of companies/people and this can be used as a feedback information for dimensioning harbors, that is reducing their size or increasing it. In this regard,...
