EUROPAM will identify conservation areas and seasonality of species diversity, compare noisy with quiet areas, and measure noise level changes in relation to wind farm construction, new industrial offshore development and the exponentially increasing marine traffic. The project will monitor the Arctic, Atlantic, and Mediterranean Sea regions, which are all expected to be highly impacted by climate change. It addresses the topics highlighted in Theme 1 of this call, by establishing a comprehensive understanding of effective and resilient ecological networks, while contributing to enhanced species-based protection. Furthermore, the project will monitor exponentially increased marine traffic and observe species displacement, while comparing acoustics of across latitude gradients (between Mediterranean Sea, Azores and Norway) using state-of-the-art methodology. Europam has wide ranging applications and benefits. It is a cross-cutting subject with economic, social and political impacts. A preliminary stakeholder analysis has been conducted to identify key actors that will be actively involved in the project through outreach activities, like Knowledge Transfer Workshops.
