Webinar: Underwater Sound in Relation to Dredging
Channel: CEDAdredging
Date: 2013-07-03

The impacts of underwater sound on aquatic life have become a very important environmental issue. Like many other activities, the dredging process produces underwater sound depending on the type of dredger, operation methods and so on. The knowledge about dredging induced sound and its effects has increased greatly in recent years and it grows by the day. After a brief introduction to the subject in this webinar participants will learn about: effects of sound on marine life; dredging sound; documented impacts; management of sound impacts via mitigation measures. The presentation will build on the work of the WODA Expert Group on Underwater Sound.
