LOWNOISER: Protecting Marine Life by Lowering Ship Noise

Underwater noise pollution from shipping poses significant threats to marine ecosystems, disrupting essential marine species’ behaviors, such as communication, navigation, and reproduction.

With €6,3 million in funding from the European Union, the LOWNOISER partners will develop innovative noise reduction technologies, establish regulatory standards, and advance industry practices to protect marine habitats.

“Maritime CleanTech is proud to launch the LOWNOISER project, which represents a pivotal step in addressing the critical environmental challenge of underwater noise pollution from shipping. By the project’s holistic approach, we are ensuring that the technologies are part of a sustainable, long-term solution to protect marine ecosystems, safeguarding our oceans for future generations,” says Ada Jakobsen, CEO of Maritime CleanTech.
