“…Recently, it has been reported that impact pile driving noise may be responsible for negative effects on marine life, including marine mammals (Nehls et al, 2007;Kastelein et al, 2013;Leunissen and Dawson, 2018;Leunissen et al, 2019) and fish (Nedwell et al, 2003;Casper et al, 2013;Bagocius, 2015;Hawkins and Popper, 2017). Several studies have been conducted to investigate the mechanism of impact pile driving noise and its propagation properties (Reinhall and Dahl, 2011;Tsouvalas, 2020). In addition, there have been efforts to present the standards for measurement, analysis, and prediction of the noise and to prepare the criteria for the assessing noise impacts on marine ecosystems (Oestman et al, 2009;Ainslie, 2011;de Jong et al, 2011;Hawkins and Popper, 2014;Robinson et al, 2014;Dahl et al, 2015; International Organization for Standardization [ISO], 2017b; National Marine Fisheries Service [NMFS], 2018; Southall et al, 2019).…”
