Underwater Sound

Underwater sound created by dredging equipment below the water surface can impact marine life and requires careful evaluation and monitoring.

Dredging Sound Levels, Numerical Modelling and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

Underwater sound from anthropogenic sources and its potential adverse effects on the marine environment is a topic of much global interest. This article gives an overview of known sound source levels for various dredging equipment and activities and describes a method used to extrapolate source levels.
