SATURN
Developing solutions to underwater radiated noise.
SATURN is a four-year research project that will fill gaps in scientific knowledge surrounding the issue of underwater noise from shipping and other vessels by:
- Understanding the Sources: Establishing which sounds are most detrimental to aquatic species and how they are produced and propagated.
- Determining the Impacts: Identifying the short-term and cumulative long-term impacts of noise from shipping and boats on invertebrates, fish, and marine mammals in rivers and the ocean.
- Developing Solutions: Determining the most promising options for measuring and reducing the negative impacts of ship noise that can be applied to current and future vessels.
