JONAS

o A Joint program for Ocean Noise in the Atlantic Seas

o Consortium composed of Portugal, Spain, France, Ireland and UK

o Monitoring and modelling for MSFD Indicator 11.2.1

o Project area based on OSPAR Regions III, IV, and V

o Build on BIAS and develop techniques for Atlantic Arc:

- Large scale

- Diverse oceanography

- Open boundaries

JONAS

o Consortium composed of Portugal, Spain, France, Ireland and UK

o Project area based on OSPAR Regions III, IV, and V

Recommendations

o OSPAR regional monitoring should be based on OSPAR Regions

o English Channel / La Manche is the key route for monitoring

shipping noise in the North Sea, and should be monitored as a

priority for ambient noise within OSPAR

JONAS - Approach

o 2 scales

large scale : basin level (OSPAR region)

small scale: sub-region

o 2 main ambitions

develop methodology to reliably connect noise assessment

with the evaluation of Good Environmental Status (GES)

pilot for real-time risk management support

1 - technical partner (the ones who will implement the work in practice) and receive some fund ;

- contributing partner: partner that will co-fund the project - it can also be a technical partner in some cases; - associated partner: non funded partner but that may contribute technically to the project; - end-user: organization interested by the outcome of the project.
