Example: If a certain maritime activity produces the pressure "Underwater noise" at what distance it becomes neglectable? Does this distance changes accordinglly the ecologic feature we are looking for?
A lot of work has been done on ocean nose in Canadian Arctic as well as elsewhere around the world. There are a number of good textbooks are available, such as:
I have also attached a number of recent papers that look at underwater noise generated by human activities and its effects on marine mammals and other organism. The reference section of these papers should give you a lot of information on what has been done on this subject in the past. Hope this helps.
Hi Thomas thank you for your help. In fact we are assessing the impacts of maritime activities on the environment of Portuguese MPA´s. Therefore the activities and related pressures are quite extensive, Noise was just na exemple and from them all is the one that we have more information.
the first two documents I was aware. in fact they where the starting point of the work I am developing. The lest two documents are new to me so I will have a look.
It seem that we have been working in the same topics. Lets keep in touch.
