COWRIE will be attending and presenting at a conference being held by The Institute of Acoustics (IOA) on underwater noise, its measurement, impacts and mitigation. The meeting has been organized by the Underwater Acoustics Group of the IOA and will take place in the Novotel Hotel in Southampton on the 14 and 15th October 2008.

This conference is intended to address all of the issues from the methods used to characterize the ambient and radiated noise fields quantitatively, through to the means for assessing the impacts of noise on marine fauna and steps required for mitigation.
