The DeuteroNoise project, a collaborative effort among European researchers, recently gathered in Bergen, Norway, for its mid-term meeting. Hosted by the Michael Sars Centre, the meeting highlighted new discoveries about noise pollution’s impact on different marine species and developmental stages.
Led by Prof. Lucia Manni, the consortium discussed findings, noting variations in noise pollution’s effects across different sea basins. The researchers emphasized the importance of in-person collaboration to address the complex challenges posed by underwater noise. Michael Sars Centre’s leader Marios Chatzigeorgiou expressed excitement over the scientific advances and diverse approaches used by the team.
With just one year left in the project, the team is eager to present conclusive results to European policymakers, aiming to inform future regulations on marine noise pollution. As the DeuteroNoise project moves forward, it continues to integrate biological, ecological, and technological insights to understand and mitigate the harmful effects of noise on marine life.
