Human activities such as shipping have led to
increased underwater noise, negatively impacting
marine animals and ocean ecosystems in both
offshore and coastal habitats. Measures to limit
ship speeds can lower noise levels, reduce the risk

alternative fuels like hydrogen and liquefied natural gas
seen as promising solutions. Various technological
innovations and operational practices are being
explored to reduce fuel consumption and transition
towards cleaner sources of energy for ships.
INSIGHT
Finally, panellists noted that significant investment
and policy adaptations will be needed if we are to “Ocean conservation needs to be approached in a global,
radically decarbonise maritime transport and adhere worldwide and accelerated manner. This requires a systemic
to international agreements. change in governance, with leadership that approaches
territories and their threats holistically, integrating
environmental, cultural, social and economic dimensions.
The challenge is to bring together policy-makers from
different sectors to work on this common problem.”
