Navi e inquinamento acustico sottomarino. Il seminario di Amburgo (21-23 aprile 2008)

Even though the introduction of noise by man into the marine environment may cause damage to marine animals, an international regulation of this form of pollution is stili lacking. During a workshop recently convened in Hamburg, a group of experts has discussed navigation, one of the sources of acoustic pollution of the marine environment. The outcome of the workshop has been a declaration by participants, establishing reasonable targets for noise reduction, over a period of 10 and 30 years, and calling on States to regulate noise-producing activities through the International Maritime Organization
