Description [Targets]
The aim is to examine the noise levels and noise nuisance at sea in Finland, with the ultimate aim of reducing underwater noise, if necessary, so that it does not adversely affect marine life
The share of days and annual and regional levels of anthropogenic sound sources exceeding those likely to have a significant effect on marine animals
