MARMAM users, We are pleased to announce the following upcoming webinar for all those interested. This is the first in a series of webinars focusing on discussing practical approaches to reducing human noise impacts for different sound sources. Much of the focus in this first and subsequent workshops relate to monitoring, research, and assessment methods for evaluating and mitigating impacts on marine mammals, with the first one covering monitoring, research, and risk assessment methods for cetaceans in wind energy development areas. Please see the flyer and details below for details and more information and a link to register is also available at: https://www.globalallianceoceannoise.org/event-details/offshore-renewable-en... —— Quieting Workshop One intends to foster a productive setting for stakeholders across international governing bodies, industry leaders, non-governmental organizations, and academia to debate, break down barriers, and ultimately develop data-informed and technologically advanced solutions that fit within a realistic business model and continue to benefit a sustainable blue economy. The focal topics of this workshop will include lessons learned from different projects and experiences and pairing monitoring and mitigation requirements for ongoing developments in science and research. This workshop will culminate by identifying and proposing opportunities for actionable next steps.
