COWRIE is pleased to announce the release of the above report prepared by
BioConsult SH.
The report analyses mitigation measures which have been applied in related
projects and assesses their applicability to offshore pile driving. Based on
this, suggestions for new mitigation measures are made. The report identifies
two methods which are promising to be both applicable and effective in reducing
underwater noise arising from offshore pile driving. Both methods are considered
to be generally compatible to the working processes at sea. Although further
engineering work would be needed, they could be brought into practice within a
few months.
