GHD in the news

Reflecting a growing international consensus that ocean noise must be addressed to meet global biodiversity and climate goals, this week at the UN Oceans Conference leaders from 37 countries launched the High Ambition Coalition for a Quiet Ocean, the first global political coalition dedicated to reducing harmful ocean noise pollution.
While the coalition’s main focus is the reduction of shipping-related noise and impacts, it will also address issues such as incorporating acoustic protection into marine protected areas and supporting science-based international regulations to protect highly sensitive species such as whales.
With underwater noise already a crucial component of environmental impact studies, GHD saw an opportunity to create a user-friendly modelling program designed to mitigate the environmental impacts of projects such as offshore wind farms.
