Underwater Noise Mitigation at Blauwwind
To reduce the underwater noise during installation, Van Oord’s offshore installation vessel Aeolus is equipped with the AdBm Noise Mitigation System (NMS). The NMS is deployed as if it were a system of venetian blinds around the monopile which is lowered towards the seabed. The system reduces specific frequencies by using specialised acoustic resonators…

Less Bang, More Bubbles: Curtains of Air May Protect Fish from Noisy Human Activity
Noise pollution in the oceans has risen dramatically because of an increase in commercial shipping, oil and gas prospecting, and other activities. Evidence is mounting that low-frequency noise…
Bubble Curtains: Can They Dampen Offshore Energy Sound for Whales?
Sound is energy in the form of a wave. In the dark depths of the sea, whales and other marine mammals use gentle sound pulses to communicate about feeding, mating, and to keep their groups together…
With Noise Pollution Growing at Sea, A Texas Team Looks for Answer
One of the insidious things about noise pollution is that it is invisible. While the long plume that rose after the Deepwater Horizon explosion is a discernible reminder of how oil can harm the ocean, the sound that explosion made is less tangible…
