The main objective of the LIFE PortSounds project is to reduce the impact of underwater noise on the marine environment of the Port of Cartagena. To achieve this aim, the project has the following specific objectives: Identification and characterisation of underwater noise sources; Mapping and assessment of the influence of marine traffic; Mapping and assessment of the impact of underwater noise on biodiversity, by monitoring the abundance, distribution and physiological state of three cetacean species, bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncates), striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) and long-finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas), catalogued as species of Community interest in the annexes of the EU Habitats Directive; Development and implementation of noise mitigation measures; Development of a noise management tool (Decision Support System, DSS); Creation of governance mechanisms (technical working group) to agree and assess the mitigation measures needed to prevent the impact of underwater noise in marine ecosystems; and Assessment of the feasibility and transfer potential of applying the project\u2019s mitigation measures and the noise management tool to other Port Authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4fc3f8e1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Project title: <strong>R<\/strong>isk-based&nbsp;<strong>A<\/strong>pproaches to&nbsp;<strong>G<\/strong>ood&nbsp;<strong>E<\/strong>nvironmental&nbsp;<strong>S<\/strong>tatus (<strong>RAGES<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Funding:&nbsp;<\/strong>DG environment EU, 2019-2021&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"260\" height=\"65\" src=\"https:\/\/samaruc.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/logo-EU.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-359\" style=\"width:195px;height:49px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Overview:<\/strong>&nbsp;To develop a risk-based approach to support coordinated regional and sub-regional implementation of the MSFD based on the commission decision on GES by providing a replicable, transparent and standardized decision processes based on international best practice for risk management.
