NOAA issues guidance on man-made noise affecting marine mammals

摘要

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has updated its guidance on how to predict the effects of man-made sound on marine mammals. The technical document comes two months after the agency released its draft "Ocean Noise Strategy Roadmap," which includes recommendations to improve how the agency monitors, manages and assesses noise from sources such as ships and sonar (Greenwire, June 1).
