Description
Summary:Marine ecosystems are increasingly affected by underwater sounds. Growing scientific and societal concerns have led to several international initiatives to measure the environmental impact of ocean noise at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. The following statements are formulated around the terms of reference of the International Quiet Ocean Experiment (IQOE) for its working group on Arctic Acoustic Environments. It addresses knowledge gaps in long-term trends in soundscape characteristics, research priorities (transnational programs, equipment/infrastructure sharing), and other issues such as long-term data archiving and data access policies.
