Conference on The Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life

PI要求提供资金，以部分支持与噪音影响有关的两项活动。第一个是关于噪音对水生生物影响的第二次国际会议，将于2010年8月15日至20日在爱尔兰共和国科克市举行。第二个是研究噪音对鱼和海龟影响的工作小组。工作处于完成手稿草稿的最后阶段，该草稿列出了文献和研究建议中的数据。更广泛的影响会议的目标是汇集关于水下声音对动物的重要性以及声音对它们的影响的新知识，无论这些声音是自然产生的，是由动物自己发出的，还是由人类活动产生的。工作组的成果将提供第一份协商一致文件，该文件是由从事鱼类和海龟噪音影响以及鱼类和海龟生物声学方面大量工作的科学家编写的，涉及迄今收集的数据的价值及其在制定标准方面的用处。

The PI requests funding to partially support two activities related to the effects of noise. The first is The Second International Conference on the Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life workshop which will take place in the city of Cork, in the Republic of Ireland August 15-20, 2010. The second is a Working Group on the Effects of Noise on Fish and Turtles. The Working is in the final stages of completing a draft manuscript that lays out the data in the literature and research recommendations. Broader ImpactsThe goal of the conference is to draw together new knowledge on the importance of underwater sound to animals and to the effects of sounds upon them, whether those sounds occur naturally, are made by the animals themselves, or result from human activities. The product of the Working Group will provide the first consensus document, produced by the scientists who have been doing much of the work on fish and turtle noise effects and fish and turtle bioacoustics, on the value of the data collected to date, and on their usefulness in setting criteria.
