Session on underwater acoustic impacts at Ocean Sciences 2024


Dear Colleagues:



The Center for Marine Acoustics within BOEM is hosting a session focused on 
underwater acoustic impacts at the upcoming Ocean Sciences Meeting 
2024<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001YhT03O9-KN7jyZjhrl9OphTHjqVFBSc_ebVPScIVHflUbCquQdkLWCWBVqcRRRcLBganjpArO-CwjVNSvUC4jmct1RxaXbIxcdW3YK0FOf7QXkE2ncRohduUwml1doTjJ83scEJCjOirWSQI5HKsIN9qr3N7xBe_MB1ANQxXQdk=&c=4s4nnRR4akDbZOF8zY9W0djg9unP6KHzVDyaAlL8UcYnh3XOkkRe1w==&ch=YvPJVOF2RAoTgBg2yWzXrZ6Dh-8qbOWfqg1OQxizKCtpVH9_QILpwA==>,
 which will take place on February 18-23 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The session 
title and description are below. We will be very pleased to receive abstracts 
on all relevant topics. The abstract deadline is September 13, 2023.



Session Title: OT021: Underwater Acoustic Impacts: BOEM's Past, Present, and 
Future Efforts to Address the Issues

Marine acoustics issues have greatly increased in national and international 
significance over the last several decades. As a result, the Bureau of Ocean 
Energy Management (BOEM) studies and environmental risk assessment work have 
expanded to consider a wider variety of marine species, such as marine mammals, 
turtles, fishes, and invertebrates, as well as anthropogenic sound sources. 
Understanding the science of marine acoustics and its policy applications 
requires highly specialized knowledge and experience in physics and 
bioacoustics (how animals use and are affected by sound). To answer the call, 
BOEM launched the Center for Marine Acoustics (CMA) in 2020 to build its 
expertise, strengthening the Bureau’s role in managing and understanding 
underwater sound. The CMA provides expertise and leadership to drive best 
practices, expand research on underwater sound, seek policy improvements, and 
improve messaging related to marine acoustic issues. This session is hosted by 
the CMA and invites presentations on research and development into the 
application of underwater acoustic monitoring, measurements, and noise 
mitigation. Topics may include but are not limited to passive acoustic 
monitoring (PAM), animal-borne bio-logging tags, soundscape ecology, noise 
mitigation tools, and developing guidance and regulations toward underwater 
noise management.

Please feel free to contact us at the above email addresses if you have any 
questions.

Cheers,
Morgan Martin
