The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) requires European Member States (MS) to
develop strategies for their marine waters that should lead to programmes of measures that
achieve or maintain Good Environmental Status (GES) in European Seas. As an essential step in
reaching good environmental status, MS should establish monitoring programmes enabling the
state of the marine waters concerned to be assessed on a regular basis. Criteria and
methodological standards on GES of marine waters were published in 2010 (Commission
Decision 2010/477/EU). Two indicators were described for Descriptor 11 (Noise/Energy):
Indicator 11.1.1 on low and mid frequency impulsive sounds and Indicator 11.2.1 on continuous
low frequency sound (ambient noise).
As a follow up to the Commission Decision, the Marine Directors in 2010 agreed to establish a
Technical Subgroup (TSG) for further development of Descriptor 11 Noise/Energy. TSG
(Underwater) Noise in 2011 focused on clarifying the purpose,.....
