D11T1
Target description
Target: Establishment of a register of impulsive noise to determine the current level and trends in impulsive noise in the Irish Marine Assessment Area. Notes: The targets for MSFD Cycle 2 have been aligned with the criteria outlined in the Commission Decision 2017/848. Where targets from MSFD Cycle 1 do not align with the Criteria these have been discontinued and have been reported as ‘Target no longer needed’. There was no Target timescale date specified in MSFD Cycle 1 for this target. The Timescale date 205012 has been entered to allow the Schema be submitted and processed without errors. Under no circumstances should this date be attributed to the now abandoned target.
The spatial distribution, temporal extent, and levels of anthropogenic impulsive sound sources do not exceed levels that adversely affect populations of marine animals.
