1 10th EAA INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON HYDROACOUSTICS XXXIII Symposium on Hydroacoustics, May 17-20, 2016, Jastrzębia Góra, Poland Ship traffic noise distribution in the Polish Baltic waters results of BIAS EU project Jarosław Tęgowski 1, Thomas Folegot 2, Radomił Koza 1, Karolina Trzcińska 1, Iwona Pawliczka 1, Jakub Zdroik 1, Krzysztof Skóra 1 1 Institute of Oceanography, University of Gdansk, al. Marszałka Piłsudskiego Gdynia, Poland 2 QUIET-OCEANS, 65 Place Nicolas Copernic, Plouzané, France

2 Since World War II, the average level of the ambient noise increased by db (Bjørnø, 1998) Bjørnø, L., 1998, Man-made contributions to ambient noise in the seas. Alippi, A. and Cannelli, G. B. Proceedings of the Fourth European Conference on Underwater Acoustics, Rome 2,

3 The hearing ranges of different kinds of fish and mammals together with the overlap in frequency with different sources of human-generated noise from Slabbekoorn et al. (2010)

4 Baltic Sea Information on the Acoustic Soundscape - BIAS EU-Life+ project ( ) Goals: Implementation of MSFD Descriptor 11 in the Baltic Sea region Establishing a baseline for continuous sound by measurements and soundscape modeling Establishing of a joint management, for e.g. handling of data and registry standards Developing tools for handling of Descriptor MSFD - Marine Strategy Framework Directive

5 What the EC (LIFE +) is expected from the BIAS project? What will be the main result of the project? BIAS - brochure

28 PARAMETRICAL ANALYSIS OF AMBIENT NOISE SPECTRAL AND WAVELET PARAMETERS OF AMBIENT NOISE The normalized power spectrum of ambient noise is defined as: ~ S log A S 1 log A Smax 1 where A=10 5 const., S() - power spectral density function and its maximum value S max (). The classification parameters were defined as the relationships between parts of spectral density functions: Dq m 1 S f 1 1 f m 0 Ny S ~ ( f ) df where m=2, 4, 8, 16 and f Ny is the Nyquist frequency. S f m 1 S f 1 1 f m 0 Ny ~ Sdf
