Client: Advisian
A modelling study of underwater sound levels in Mermaid Sound associated with proposed development of the Scarborough Project Nearshore Component at the Pluto LNG field to assist in understanding the potential acoustic impact on key regional receptors including marine mammals, fish, and turtles. The study considered the driving of subsea piles which may be required to assist with pipelay operations close to the Pluto LNG facility, inside Mermaid Sound, and compared the sound levels against multiple effects criteria.
