progetto SATURN
Programme: H2020 – Research and Innovation Actions
Project title: Solutions At Underwater Radiated Noise
Acronym: SATURN
Duration: 01/02/2021 – 31/01/2025
Total Budget: € 8.965.964
ISMAR budget: € 250.000

Summary:
The SATURN consortium brings together leading experts in bioacoustics; population biology; marine mammal, fish and invertebrate biology; maritime architecture and engineering; shipping; maritime policy; stakeholder engagement and science communication. We will combine expertise from these disciplines to work with unity of purpose and clarity of intent to identify:
- The sounds that are most detrimental to aquatic species and how they are produced and propagated;
- The short-term and cumulative long-term negative impacts of noise from shipping and boats on three representative groups of aquatic species in rivers and the sea (invertebrates, fish and marine mammals);
- The most promising options for measuring and reducing the negative impacts of ship noise that can be applied to current and future vessels.
