Abstract
This research project explored how different vessel noise reduction
strategies could reduce the impacts of underwater noise on marine mammals
at the Sgaan Kinghlas - Bowie Seamount Marine Protected Area. This
involved using GIS to map and spatially analyze management scenarios, and
conducting interviews with shipping industry representatives, scientists,
and government managers to evaluate the scenarios' feasibility.
