Standardisation of Passive Acoustic Monitoring as mitigation in UK waters: Workshop Report (3–4 March 2021) 2021

Abstract

This workshop report provides a summary of the 'Standardisation of Passive Acoustic Monitoring as mitigation in UK Waters' workshop, hosted by the Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and JNCC. The workshop was held remotely using Microsoft Teams during the afternoons of 3 and 4 March 2021 and was attended by approximately 100 participants, including other regulators and stakeholders who have experience in using Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) as a tool to mitigate impacts on marine mammals from noise arising from offshore industries.

The aim of the workshop was to inform the development of proposed guidance on the use of PAM as mitigation for noise effects to marine mammals in UK waters, including the development of standardised methods to improve deployment, operation, and reporting. The guidance is available as a separate resource ((*JNCC guidance for the use of Passive Acoustic Monitoring in UK waters for minimising the risk of injury to marine mammals from offshore activities)[https://hub.jncc.gov.uk/assets/fb7d345b-ec24-4c60-aba2-894e50375e33])
