As far as Underwater Noise is concerned, there are no baselines since the results of the national survey carried out at the end of December 2010 in order to collect all the available data at a national level were the following ones: 1) The existing data only referred to three locations (The Gulf of Trieste, The Ionian Sea and The Tuscan Archipelago/Seaboard of Civitavecchia). However, they were consistent with the technical requirements set out to determine noise trends (as established by TSG Noise in its report); 2) The above-mentioned data were accurately collected in space but not over an appropriate time frame. In fact, they referred to time periods previous to 2010. Available data are not either sufficiently accurate to ensure an adequate spatial coverage or statistically robust. Consequently, they are not functional to GES determination. TSG Noise has realised that those information gaps concern all Member States and has therefore confirmed this issue by mentioning the conclusions of the assessment study carried out by OSPAR in 2010, whose report is available on request from the OSPAR secretariat at www.ospar.org.
