Dear colleagues and friends,
We are excited to invite you to our upcoming online panel discussion titled “Quiet, Please! Bridging Science and Policy on Underwater Noise”,
on 18 October 2024 at 12 PM CEST. This virtual event will delve into the critical issue of underwater noise pollution and its impact on marine ecosystems.
Organized by JPI Oceans, the Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics of the Technical
University of Catalonia, BarcelonaTech (UPC), IOC-UNESCO, and the OCEANOISE Conference Series, this two-hour event brings together leading experts to explore the intersection of scientific research and policymaking in addressing underwater
noise.
Why Attend?
Underwater noise pollution poses an escalating threat to marine life. Following the urgent call
for action from the OCEANOISE2023 conference, our panel discussion seeks to bridge the gap between science and policy to foster impactful solutions.
Meet Our Panellists:
-
Christine Erbe, Curtin University, Australia
-
Tom Akamatsu, Waseda University, Japan
-
Ana Širović, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway
-
Peter Sigray, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
-
Leila Hatch, National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, USA
The session will be moderated by Michel André, Technical University of Catalonia, BarcelonaTech, Spain.
Together, they will share the latest scientific findings, legislative advancements, and global perspectives on mitigating underwater noise pollution.
This event builds on insights from the Ocean Decade Research Programme on the MaritimeAcoustic Environment, showcased
during the Ocean Decade Week in Barcelona.
The event will begin with a welcome and introduction, followed by short opening pitches by our panellists designed to
stimulate thought-provoking discussions and will be followed by the main panel discussion. The final segment will be an audience Q&A, with questions gathered during registration. Take your chance to pose your questions to the panel then!
