LIFE MareNatura was proudly represented at OCEANOISE2026, the leading international conference on ocean noise, held in Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona, Spain. The conference brought together world-leading experts in underwater acoustics, marine ecology, conservation and policy to discuss the latest scientific and regulatory developments in ocean noise management.
Representing the project and the Marine Bioacoustics Team, Dr. Aristides Prospathopoulos (Hellenic Centre of Marine Research-HCMR) and Dr. Vasilis Trygonis (University of Aegean) delivered two complementary presentations showcasing the Greek case and the Eastern Mediterranean perspective on underwater noise.
Dr. Prospathopoulos presented “Leveraging complementarity of large-scale projects for effective management of underwater noise in the Eastern Mediterranean: The Greek case” during the Management & Policy session, while Dr. Trygonis presented “Soundscape analysis of the multi-diverse marine environment of the Eastern Mediterranean: The Greek case” during the Soundscapes session.
The strong interest generated by both presentations highlighted the importance of connecting science, monitoring and policy to support effective conservation action. Together, the presentations demonstrated how LIFE MareNatura contributes to the international effort to better understand, assess and manage underwater noise impacts on marine biodiversity in the Mediterranean Sea.
