Underwater radiated noise (URN) from shipping is a significant environmental concern, affecting marine life and the coastal communities that depend on these ecosystems. IMO and the World Maritime University are hosting a workshop bringing stakeholders from countries involved in the GloNoise Partnership Project. Together they will share knowledge, best practices, and progress on reducing Underwater Radiated Noise (URN) through policies and strategies.
