Noise is primarely monitored and assessed in specifik activities/projects (EIA processes). Appropriate mitigation measures are implemented. Experiences from BIAS and BIAS+ will be used to descide how monitoring should be set up in the North Sea (link)

Q5f - Description of programme for GES assessment
BIAS and BIAS+ projects will establish and implement standards and tools for the management of underwater noise in accordance with MSFD in the marine region of the Baltic Sea. The BIAS standards and tools will match the needs for management of underwater noise in accordance with the MSFD, be harmonised across the Baltic Sea region, and be valuable for future activities after the end of the project (link)

Q6d - Description of programme for targets assessment
The aim of the forthcoming programme is to provide data on key indicators for energy and introduction of underwater noise. The programme need to be able to assess variability, trends and distances from future targets.
