Maritime traffic represents a growing contributor to underwater acoustic pollution. Laboratory studies on noise impacts benefit from tightly controlled conditions, making it possible to reliably compare organisms exposed to sound with those kept in near-silent environments. By contrast, field-based experiments are often complex, particularly in confined and shallow systems such as the Venetian...

The deep-sea cabled infrastructure operated by INFN-LNS provides a platform for continuous acoustic monitoring in the Ionian Sea, southeast of Sicily, Italy. In recent years, it has expanded significantly, integrating different observatories and sensing technologies for long-term monitoring of the underwater acoustic environment. The system includes the Test Site offshore Catania and the...

The underwater soundscape off the west coast of Ireland is a dynamic acoustic environment shaped by a complex interplay of natural sounds and anthropogenic noises. This region, exposed directly to the north Atlantic, experiences pronounced seasonal and inter-annual fluctuations driven by meteorological forces, oceanographic processes, and biological rhythms.This study investigated the impact...

The VONGOLA project (Visual and noise-eNhanced AI Analysis for Marine Biodiversity Monitoring, Observation and LeArning), led by CSFNSM (Centro Siciliano di Fisica Nucleare e di Struttura delle Materia), developed innovative approaches for monitoring marine biodiversity and evaluating the impact of human interference on marine ecosystems. To achieve these goals, an heterogeneous monitoring...

4665. Underwater radiated noise level database collected in shallow water in Baltic Sea (FA2026/575)Valtteri Hongisto (Turku University of Applied Sciences)08/09/2026, 16:40A22 Underwater Acoustics
Underwater noise emission of vessels is usually declared by radiated noise level (LRN). LRN must be tested in Finnish seas using a method which is suitable for shallow water (30150 m). There is not much public data about the LRNs of vessels sailing in Finnish seas nor vessels built in Finnish shipyards. Knowledge of LRN of current vessels is needed in maritime industry since IMO has...
