噪声对水生生物的影响是国际上日益关注和研究的课题。水下噪声来源于海上交通、港口建设、近海石油和矿产勘探和生产、海洋可再生能源工厂、渔业、国防行动、测量、科学研究等。对海洋生物的潜在影响包括没有或仅可检测到相关声音、声掩蔽、行为反应、压力、暂时性听力损失、以及可能导致死亡的更严重的身体和生理影响，例如器官和组织损伤。Anthony D.霍金斯，亚瑟N. Popper和Magnus Wahlberg于2007年在丹麦的Nyborg发起了关于噪音对水生生物影响的系列会议（Hawkins et al.，2008年）。这次会议的显著成功导致就同一主题举行了更多的会议。第二次此类会议由霍金斯和波普尔组织，于2010年在爱尔兰科克举行（波普尔和霍金斯，2012年），第三次会议于2013年在匈牙利布达佩斯举行（波普尔和霍金斯，2016年）。第四次会议由克莉丝汀埃尔贝、安东尼D.霍金斯，亚瑟N.波普尔、约瑟夫·西斯内罗斯和弗兰克·罗森于2016年在爱尔兰的都柏林举行（埃尔贝等人，2016年）。海牙被选为第五次会议的原因有很多：1）它位于欧洲活动的中心，围绕着噪音对水生生物的影响; 2）它很容易从世界任何地方到达（从史基波尔国际机场乘火车到达）; 3）Kurhaus，特别是，满足了所有的要求，为这次会议的场地，除了相当惊人的，就在海滩; 4）在会议结束后，忙碌的一天有充足的机会进行晚间郊游，陪同人员有白天的活动，家庭有度假的目的地。该系列会议继续汇集科学家，监管机构，环保主义者和行业代表，以了解和讨论人为噪音对水生生物的潜在影响。重点是跨物种和噪音源的想法和发现的交叉施肥。这种材料的共享具有特殊的价值，因为问题中有许多共同点，除非在跨学科和跨思想的会议上，否则这些问题永远不会得到重视。参与者了解他们通常不会遇到的问题。例如，科学家了解监管机构的担忧，而行业代表了解最新数据等，会议的参与人数持续强劲。尼堡有202名代表和134场演讲：来自22个国家的244名代表在科克进行了111场演讲;来自24个国家的243名代表在布达佩斯进行了125场演讲;来自23个国家的323名代表在都柏林进行了229场演讲;来自29个国家的312名代表在海牙进行了214场演讲。这POMA卷包含的文章的基础上提出的几个文件在海牙会议。
The Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life is a topic of growing international concern and research. Underwater noise originates from marine traffic, port construction, offshore petroleum and mineral exploration and production, marine renewable energy plants, fisheries, defense operations, surveying, scientific research, etc. The potential impacts on marine life range from none or mere detectability of associated sound, to acoustic masking, behavioral responses, stress, temporary hearing loss, and more severe physical and physiological effects such as organ and tissue injury that may lead to death. Anthony D. Hawkins, Arthur N. Popper, and Magnus Wahlberg initiated a conference series on the effects of noise on aquatic life in Nyborg, Denmark in 2007 (Hawkins et al., 2008). The striking success of this meeting led to additional meetings on the same topic. The second such meeting, organized by Hawkins and Popper, was in Cork, Ireland in 2010 (Popper and Hawkins, 2012), and the third in Budapest, Hungary in 2013 (Popper and Hawkins, 2016). The fourth meeting, organized by Christine Erbe, Anthony D. Hawkins, Arthur N. Popper, Joseph Sisneros, and Frank Thomsen, took place in Dublin, Ireland in 2016 (Erbe et al., 2016). Den Haag was selected for the fifth meeting for a number of reasons: 1) It is located somewhat in the center of European activity surrounding the effects of noise on aquatic life; 2) it is easily accessible from anywhere in the world (via a brief train ride from Schiphol international airport); 3) the Kurhaus, in particular, met all the requirements for this meeting’s venue, in addition to being quite stunning and right at the beach; and 4) there were ample opportunities for evening outings at the end of a busy day at the conference, daytime activities for accompanying persons, and vacation destinations for families. This conference series continues to bring together scientists, regulators, environmentalists, and industry representatives to learn about and discuss the potential effects of man-made noise on aquatic organisms. Emphasis is on cross-fertilization of ideas and findings across species and noise sources. This kind of sharing of material is of exceptional value since there are many commonalities in issues that never get appreciated except at meetings that cross disciplines and ideas. Participants learn about matters that they normally do not encounter. For example, scientists learn about the concerns of regulators, while industry representatives learn about the latest data, etc.The number of participants at the conferences continues to be strong. There were 202 delegates and 134 presentations in Nyborg: 244 delegates from 22 countries and 111 presentations in Cork; 243 delegates from 24 countries and 125 presentations in Budapest; 323 delegates from 23 countries and 229 presentations in Dublin; and 312 delegates from 29 countries and 214 presentations in Den Haag. This POMA volume contains articles based on several of the papers presented at the Den Haag meeting.
