GES description D11 Energy, incl. underwater noise
Introduction of energy, including underwater noise, is at levels that do not adversely affect the
marine environment

The spatial distribution, temporal extent,
and levels of anthropogenic impulsive
sound sources do not exceed levels that
adversely affect populations of marine an­imals.
GES description D11C2 Anthropogenic continuous low-frequency sound (11.2, 11.2.1)
The spatial distribution, temporal extent
and levels of anthropogenic continuous
low-frequency sound do not exceed levels
that adversely affect populations of mar­ine animals.
