South Stream Pipeline – Turkish Sector – Underwater Sound Analysis
November 2013 — Turkey
Client: South Stream Transport B.V.
An acoustic propagation modelling study to estimate noise effects on marine mammals and fish during construction of the South Stream natural gas pipeline at the bottom of the Black Sea. Results from 11 modelled scenarios include instantaneous sound exposure from individual vessels, aggregate instantaneous sound exposure from a group of vessels, and cumulative sound exposure for 24 hours of typical operation.
