Anthropogenic underwater noise

(a) The environmental impacts of anthropogenic activities on marine biological diversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction

Anthropogenic underwater noise pollution

Marine biodiversity is increasingly affected by a wide range of anthropogenic stresses related to existing and emerging activities.

(h) Anthropogenic influences on the global environment

II. Inventories of anthropogenic emissions and removals

B. Inventories of anthropogenic emissions and removals in 1990

Type (iii) project activities other project activities that both reduce anthropogenic emissions by sources and directly emit less than 15 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually (decision 17 CP.7, paragraph 6 (c) (iii))

In the case of afforestation and reforestation project activities under the CDM, a designated operational entity shall verify and certify net anthropogenic greenhouse gas removals by sinks.

Generally, however, water quality has undergone severe deterioration through anthropogenic interventions.

Inventories of anthropogenic emissions and binding in reservoirs and by sinks

If bundled project activities are registered with an overall monitoring plan, this monitoring plan shall be implemented and each verification certification of the net anthropogenic removals by sinks achieved shall cover all of the bundled project activities.

It is difficult to determine what is naturally present and what is anthropogenic.

Energy production and consumption generated 98 of Canada s anthropogenic CO2 emissions in 1990.

47. Because human activities are so central to the changes taking place in the global environment, these studies bring together natural and social scientists to understand better the anthropogenic causes and social and economic consequences.

Preservation of those systems was being endangered by anthropogenic and human detrimental impacts on the Earth's environment.

The development of realistic scenarios of the future abundances of anthropogenic and biogenic trace gases also is required.

However, marine biodiversity and ecosystems in these areas are increasingly affected by a wide array of anthropogenic stresses.

Anthropogenic activities and accumulation of solid wastes (e.g. discarded fishing nets, traps, anchors, debris and tyres) can be a threat to the marine habitats, creating anoxic conditions for benthic fauna and having a negative impact throughout the marine ecosystem.

A group of non governmental organizations drew attention to anthropogenic underwater noise as a largely unregulated form of pollution.

Finally, the Commission considered environmental matters, including the relationship between sea ice and cetaceans habitat degradation and anthropogenic noise.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change provides an internationally binding basis for combatting the anthropogenic greenhouse effect.

The yearly anthropogenic emission of methane amounts to about 406,000 tonnes and has not changed through the last decade.

(d) To predict the response of biogeochemical processes to natural and anthropogenic perturbations, in particular those related to climate change.

(h) coordination efforts and review of policies to limit anthropogenic emissions and protect and enhance sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases.

The prospect of ocean acidification may well be the most serious of all of the predicted outcomes of anthropogenic CO2 release.

COPENHAGEN The United Nations Climate Change Treaty, signed in 1992, committed the world to avoiding dangerous anthropogenic interference in the climate system.

People are still figuring out what a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases actually means.

Anthropogenic causes of water scarcity and degradation are attributable to inappropriate agricultural and industrial policies, haphazard urban development and lax urban governance.

C. Policies and measures being implemented by Parties to limit anthropogenic emissions and protect and enhance sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases

First, what would constitute dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system ? And, second, what level of safety is assumed by the term prevent ?

This document compiles and summarizes information relating to national inventories of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases (GHGs).

Climate change, both natural and anthropogenic in origin, also affects freshwater availability, in particular through changes in rainfall distribution in space and time.

Accounting of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks resulting from land use, land use change and forestry activities under Article 3, paragraphs 3 and 4, shall begin with the onset of the activity or the beginning of the commitment period, whichever comes later.

Expressing its concern over the projected adverse effects of anthropogenic and natural climate change and ocean acidification on the marine environment and marine biodiversity,

Expressing its serious concern over the current and projected adverse effects of anthropogenic and natural climate change on the marine environment and marine biodiversity,

Reductions in anthropogenic emissions by sources shall be adjusted for leakage in accordance with the provisions of appendix B for the relevant project categories.

Canada has adopted a comprehensive approach that addresses emissions of all greenhouse gases from anthropogenic sources and the sequestering of these gases by sinks.

Inventories of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases In accordance with Article 4, paragraph 1 (a), and Article 12, paragraph 1 (a), of the Convention, Parties provided information on their national inventory of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removal by sinks of GHGs not controlled by the Montreal Protocol.

The rate of warming would further accelerate and the emission cutbacks required would need to be increased if dangerous anthropogenic interference is to be avoided.

The increasing levels of anthropogenic noise in the oceans constitute smog for acoustically active species, obscuring acoustic signals potentially critical to migration, feeding and reproduction.

But what they can't deal with is anthropogenic stresses, human things, like this picture that shows a leatherback caught at night in a gill net.
