6 Water is an excellent medium for sound transmisson Sound is more than four times faster underwater compared to air and there is less attenuation

7 Sound is important for marine life 10

8 Senses underwater Smell - No receptors Taste - Limited Touch Short range Visual Short range Sound Effective, fast, long-range DHI

9 Marine mammal hearing SPL (db re 1 µpa) Frequency (khz) Bottlenose dolphin (Johnson 1967) Risso's dolphin (Nachtigall et al. 1995) Striped dolphin (Kastelein et al. 2003) Killer whale (Szymanski et al. 1999; Behaviour) Killer whale (Szymanski et al. 1999; ABR) Harbour porpoise (Kastelein et al. 2002)

11 Marine sound sources Boyd et al. 2008

12 Risk based approach to noise assessment What is the problem? How far does the sound spread and how many animals are in range of the sound? How do they react to the sounds? How can we mitigate impacts? 6/29/

13 Detection Masking Response TTS-PTS Injury TTS = Temporary threshold shift PTS = Permanent threshold shift

14 Detection Depends on source strength, sound spread and different ambient noise conditions (Close range - > 100 km) 17

15 Masking Whales Fish Seals & Sea Lions Toothed Whales 200 k 1 Hz 10 Hz 100 Hz 1 khz 10 khz 100 khz Shipping (Southall & Hatch in OSPAR 2009)

16 Response Age Condition Source Channel Sex Social state Properties -duration -transient / continuous Behavioural state Season

17 Response Significant decline in catch rate during and after seismic exposure 5 days to recover Effects 20 nm Pearson et al. 1992; Engas et al. 1996; Slotte et al. 2004

18 Risk management Source mitigation (e.g. dampening) Channel mitigation (e.g. Bubble curtains, NMS, Helmholtz Res) Receiver mitigation (Wochner et al. 2015; Schiedek et al ) Werner Piper 6/29/

19 Different approaches Simulate Sound Propagation: Underwater Acoustic Simulator (UAS) Undertake EIA: Underwater Acoustic Analyzer (UAA) Dynamic Risk Assesment: Agent Based Modelling (ABM Lab) 6/29/

30 Empirical UAS Validation: Measurements at Belwind OWF DHI 29 June, 2016 #37 (Degraer et al. (2010): Belwind Phase 1 windfarm, foundation B10)

31 UAA development (Underwater Acoustics Analyzer): On-going UAS: Model for the simulation of TL (CPU consuming) UAA: Tool for post-processing of UAS results (instantaneous): Scaling of source spectrum Apply mitigation spectrum Calculate relevant metrics (SEL, SPL-zp, etc.) Calculate cumulative impacts (noise dose, etc.) Make weighting of received spectrum e.g. M-weighting Calculate impact ranges based on various impact criteria for specific receptors Make transect plots, line plots, spectral plots In short: Prepare your Environmental Impact Asessment applying the UAA DHI 29 June, 2016 #38

32 Noise Dose Impacts TTS: acoustic dose TTS single strike = 700 m (SL = 207 db re 1µPa 2. s, N = 2400 strikes, TL = 15 log (r) 6/29/

35 Marine Strategy Framework Directive Acute exposure to loud, low and mid frequency impulsive sounds Chronic exposure to continuous low frequency sound Gaps in distribution due to behavioural alterations (11.1.1) Communication difficulties caused by low frequency noise (11.2.1) (OSPAR 2009; Tasker et al. 2010)
