Underwater noise pollution is a growing threat, but are "quiet zones" the answer?
- International noise standards: measuring and enforcing quieter seas for environmental protection.
- Challenges for sonar operations: adapting to "Noise Quiet" zones, maintaining defense capabilities.
- Opportunities for collaboration: transferring noise reduction technologies to commercial shipping.
- Standardisation efforts: ensuring fair and effective regulations across the globe.
- Classification societies and noise notations: incentivising quieter commercial vessels.
