D11C1: Regulate sectors or activities that emit pulsed noise with the objective of reducing the entry of underwater noise (e.g. through the use of mitigation measures or alternative means of construction). The pressure on impulsive noise (the “pulse-block days indicator”) displays a stable or negative trend.
