QUIETING WORKSHOP THREE

Setting and Attaining Quieting Objectives for Underwater Radiated Noise (URN) from Vessels

Tuesday May 20 & Wednesday May 21

Workshop Three titled “Setting and Attaining Quieting Objectives for Underwater Radiated Noise (URN) from Vessels” intends to foster a productive setting for stakeholders across international governing bodies, industry leaders, non-governmental organizations, and academia to debate, break down barriers, and ultimately develop data-informed and technologically advanced solutions. The focal topics of this workshop will include: (1) assessing current efforts in support of target setting; and (2) considerations for attaining and implementing goals. This workshop will culminate with a panel discussion to identify and propose opportunities for actionable next steps.
