SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE
3.2: Contribute to protect and restore biodiversity
LEAD PARTNER
Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (IOF)
TARGET GROUPS
GENERAL PUBLIC, PUBLIC AUTHORITIES, PROTECTED AREAS, ASSOCIATIONS, NGOs, UNIVERSITIES AND RESEARCH INSTITUTES.
The Northern Adriatic Sea (NAS) is an area highly impacted by increasing maritime traffic, tourism and resource exploitation, whilst having a very vulnerable biodiversity. The main objective of the project is to create a cross-border technical, scientific and institutional cooperation to face together the challenge of assessing the impact of underwater environmental noise on the marine fauna and in general on the NAS ecosystem. This cooperation aims to ensure an efficient protection of marine biodiversity and to develop a sustainable use of marine and coastal ecosystems and resources. The objectives of the project are to be pursued in three ways: Implementing a shared monitoring network for a coordinated regional and transnational assessment of the underwater noise, evaluating the noise impact on marine biological resources, developing and implementing a planning tool for straightforward management.
