Marine scientists and representatives from the non-public sector and military institutions would meet at UNESCO at the top of this month to live noise's impact on marine life, the Paris-based UN scientific branch UNESCO said Friday.
The main agenda of the meeting, that is due from Aug. 30 to Sep. 1, was to debate the program of the International Quiet Ocean Experiment (IQOE).
"This decade-long project aims to fill the considerable information gaps during this space, in order that management of ocean noise may be a lot of informed and effective," UNESCO said during a statement.
The Quiet Ocean Experiments was initiated against the background that human activities on the high seas have increased considerably in recent decades, and resulted in impact upon several marine species relying mainly on sound to speak.
However, some sounds are suspected to change the behavior of marine animals. for instance, many whale species have raised the degree of the squeaks, clicks and moans by that they convey with one another.
The experiment is organized by the Scientific Committee on Oceanic analysis (SCOR) and also the Partnership for Observation of the worldwide Oceans (POGO), of that UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) may be a member.
