Description criteria
During the first cycle of the Marine Strategy in 2012, it was not possible to report any type of assessment on underwater noise due to the knowledge gaps . Although some data was collected for D11C1 for the period 2012-2017 we need data for 6- year period for assessment. The thresholds for D11C1 are not define at Union level.
