0649690Popper This award to University of Maryland provides support for scientific participant travel and expenses for participation by US scientists in a conference to be held in Denmark in 2007 addressing issues related to the impacts of sound on marine fauna. The topic of anthropogenic sound in the marine environment has become an issue of significant regulatory and public concern, both domestically and internationally, but the scientific information available to make informed decisions regarding actual impacts is quite limited. In conjunction with separate support from other US and international groups, support is provided here to bring experts together to address the scientific findings and additional needs on this topic, and to produce a set of publications that help define the state of knowledge on the use of sound by various marine organisms, processes and changes in underwater acoustics and ambient noise, sources of anthropogenic noise and their characteristics, effects of noise on various animal groups, and the current national and international regulatory framework for use of noise in the marine environment. Broader Impacts: Support provided here will improve efforts to assess potential impacts of natural and anthropogenic sounds on marine animals. Many human activities, including scientific research, introduce sound into the marine environment intentionally or incidentally, and a clear understanding of the nature of such impacts on organisms is an important element in our effort to properly assess potential environmental impacts based on the best available science.***

这个奖授予马里兰大学，为美国科学家参加2007年在丹麦举行的有关声音对海洋动物影响的会议提供旅费和费用支持。海洋环境中的人为声音问题已成为国内外监管部门和公众关注的一个重大问题，但可用于就实际影响作出知情决定的科学信息相当有限。与其他美国和国际组织的单独支持相结合，这里提供的支持是将专家聚集在一起，讨论关于这一主题的科学发现和其他需求，并制作一套出版物，帮助定义各种海洋生物使用声音的知识状况，水下声学和环境噪声的过程和变化，人为噪声的来源及其特征，噪声对各种动物群体的影响，以及目前在海洋环境中使用噪音的国家和国际监管框架。更广泛的影响：在此提供的支持将有助于评估自然和人为声音对海洋动物的潜在影响。许多人类活动，包括科学研究，有意或无意地将声音引入海洋环境，对这种对生物影响的性质有一个清楚的了解，是我们根据现有的最佳科学适当评估潜在环境影响的一个重要因素
