In December 2011, the Marine Directors requested the TSG Noise to provide monitoring guidance that could be used by Member States in establishing monitoring schemes to meet the needs of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive indicators for underwater noise in their marine waters. This document presents background information and annexes, is not part of the guidance, but is added for additional information, examples and references that support the implementation of the practical guidance to commence the monitoring required for underwater noise. }, title = {Monitoring Guidance for Underwater Noise in European Seas - Part III: Background Information and Annexes }, type = {Technical guidance}, url = {}, doi = {10.2788/2808} }
