Underwater Acoustics in the Marine Environment
Underwater noise in the marine environment is a topic of increasing importance. As concern has grown over its possible negative effects, regulatory requirements have become more stringent.
Seiche is a recognised expert in underwater acoustics. We provide solutions to industry, defence and research sectors for mitigation, monitoring and modelling.
Get to grips with underwater acoustics and understand the noise issues that impact marine wildlife. Our four-day Marine Acoustics course is perfect for anyone working as a regulator, environmental consultant, researcher, policy, or environmental professional who needs to understand the regulatory environment. It will give you the knowledge you need to analyse and act on the recommendations in reports generated as a result of environmental legislation.
Delivered by leading research experts including Dr Paul Lepper and Professor Victor Humphrey.
The course is intended for regulators, environmental consultants, researchers and policy/environmental professionals within industry.
About the course
As concerns about the impact of underwater noise on marine wildlife increases, regulations to protect marine wildlife have become more rigorous. For those working in and around the marine environment, it is essential to understand the basic concepts of underwater acoustics and how noise can impact marine wildlife.
This three-day course uses a mixture of lectures and hands-on learning to explore the ocean environment and explain the models that are used to measure underwater acoustics. Delegates will then investigate what can be done to mitigate underwater noise before getting to grips with Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), environmental regulations, guidelines, emerging studies, and technologies in the Marine Acoustics field.
The course is intended for regulators, environmental consultants, researchers, and policy/environmental professionals within industry. It will be particularly useful in providing a better understanding of reports that delegates either have to deliver or receive from clients.
