NATO study focuses on protecting sea life
08 August 2006
1 MIN READ
The NATO Undersea Research Centre has completed its latest campaign - Sirena06 - aimed at developing solutions for reducing the impact of man-made noise on marine mammal life, 8 August 2006.
This campaign is part of an ongoing research project by the NATO Undersea Research Centre, now entitled the Marine Mammal Risk Mitigation Project, which has been underway since 1999.
Protecting sea mammals
“The ultimate goal is to establish an integrated information system which will allow the development of an on-site monitoring, risk-prediction and mitigation framework,” states the NATO Undersea Research Centre.
The project has overseen the development of software packages and underwater equipment aimed at reducing the risks associated with the various noises generated during naval activity and exercises.
The results of this research will be available for NATO countries for use in drafting their own policies and procedures.
The project involves 181 researchers from 44 organisations and research institutions from 12 countries.
