This project works with Indigenous fishing communities to reduce underwater noise from small commercial vessels and lessen impacts on marine mammals. By coordinating a steering committee, conducting acoustic assessments on local fishing boats and co‑developing long‑term mitigation strategies, the project will build local research capacity and support sustainable marine management.
