Each one links to its EU funding record and the partners it works with: a starting list for building a consortium.
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
Proposals should:
Proposals should support the objective and implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) by providing new evidence and data on the impacts of noise on marine ecosystems and related ecosystem services, in line with the MSFD guidelines for impulsive and continuous noise monitoring, and by providing evidence-based methods for the assessment of good environmental status for underwater noise at national, regional and EU level.
The European Commission signed on behalf of the European Union a Declaration for a High-Ambition Coalition for a Quiet Ocean at UNOC 3 which includes actions to address underwater noise and mitigate its impact on marine life and biodiversity. With a view of supporting the implementation of this Declaration, proposals are expected to contribute to restore a quieter ocean.

Applicants asked the EU 3 questions about this call and the EU published the answers. They clarify the call documents but do not replace them.
The mitigation measures need to be noise-specific, mitigating its impact on marine life and biodiversity. However, the assessment of impacts on marine organisms and ecosystems should consider relevant cumulative impacts with other pressures.

The topic focuses on the effects of noise exposure as well as their cumulative effects on marine organisms and ecosystems, and the services they provide; one of the services provided by the marine organisms and ecosystems is carbon sequestration. Underwater noise can impair the carbon sequestration potential of marine ecosystems by disrupting the biological and physical processes of key organisms, from microscopic plankton to massive whales. These impacts reduce the ocean's ability to capture and store atmospheric carbon dioxide, effectively weakening a critical natural defence against climate change.

As provided in the first expected outcome, “cumulative impacts with other pressures” should be considered as well. It is up to the applicants to decide which other relevant pressures to address, according to their expertise and the proposed budget, considering those that might lead to additional impacts for marine organisms when combined with underwater noise.
