• 14-17^th April Classroom,  Underwater Acoustics in the Marine Environment

 

As concern about the impact of underwater noise on marine wildlife increases, regulations to protect marine wildlife become more rigorous. for those working in and around the marine environment, it is essential to understand the basic concepts of underwater acoustics and how noise can impact marine wildlife.

This four-day Marine Acoustics uses a mixture of lectures and hands-on learning to explore the ocean environment. and explain the models that are used to measure underwater acoustics. Delegates will then investigate what can be done to mitigate underwater noise before getting to grips with environmental regulations, Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), guidelines, emerging studies, and technologies in the Marine Acoustics field.

 

The course is intended for regulators, environmental consultants, researchers, and policy/environmental professionals within industry. It will be particularly useful in providing a better understanding of reports that delegates either have to deliver or receive from clients.

 

UAME training course gives you the knowhow to get to grips with underwater acoustics and understand the noise issues that impact marine wildlife. The four-day Marine Acoustics course is perfect for anyone working as a regulator, environmental consultant, researcher, policy, or environmental professional who needs to understand the regulatory environment. It will give you the knowledge you need to analyse and act on the recommendations in reports generated as a result of environmental legislation.
