Abstract

This publication item contains 4 PDF documents: the risk assessment (RA) proper as submitted to ATCM / CEP in 2009 and three comprehensive reviews by international experts within the field of marine mammals and noise. The latter were commissioned by the AWI in 2011 and address both the RA and an evaluation of the RA by the Federal Environment Agency (UBA), the German Competent Authority for implementing the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty. The UBA evaluation is available at http://www.umweltbundesamt.de/antarktis-e/archiv/evaluation_airguns_antarctic.pdf .
