Short Abstract: Identifying areas of high anthropogenic pressure on the marine environment is a key element for an effective environmental management and for mitigating impacts. As underwater noise is considered a major threat for cetaceans, the ACCOBAMS Agreement has undertaken a work aiming at identifying noise hotspots and areas of potential conflicts with cetacean conservation. The global aim of this project is to gather baseline knowledge on noise-producing human activities in the Mediterranean Sea.
