Monitoring of continuous low-frequency underwater noise 2027-2032

Description du marché

In the period 2027–2032, the Danish Environmental Protection Agency intends to monitor anthropogenic continuous low-frequency underwater noise in order to assess its levels, as well as its spatial distribution and temporal development in Danish marine waters.The monitoring shall result in data that are comparable with previously collected data from Danish waters, as well as data collected from other EU Member States’ monitoring programmes of continuous low-frequency underwater noise. Therefore, the monitoring must be carried out in accordance with the applicable technical guideline Kontinuerlig undervandsstøj – M32 (Tougaard, 2019a; only available in Danish).The project shall report data to relevant data bases to be used for assessment of good environmental status under the MSFD and other relevant assessments in relation to the regional sea conventions.
