On Friday 11Oct, the Dutch Bio-Acoustic conference was organized. The gathering was held to share knowledge about the influence of acoustics on animal behavior. Scientist from VU Amsterdam, Leiden University, Wageningen University, Rijkswaterstaat, TNO, JASON, and VLIZ presented their results regarding noise pollution in the North Sea region (mostly underwater acoustics).

Olivier presented an overview of the SeabirdSound project under the scrutiny of the bio-acoustic experts. The talk was well received and opened fruitful discussions. This way, we like to thank RWS and the JOMOPANS project for organizing the conference, and we look forward to next year’s meeting!
