| Özet: | With the development of human activities at sea, anthropogenic underwater noise has consistently increased since the 20th century. Scientific studies have demonstrated its harmful effects on a wide range of marine species: masking of communications, behavioral response, hearing loss, and even lethal injury. This intersectoral and transboundary environmental issue has only recently been addressed by law. Yet the benefits of regulating underwater noise-generating activities are obvious: if adopted, they can immediately reduce the noise emitted by the regulated activity. French law deals with underwater noise only in an incidental way, which remains limited. This article therefore explores how the issue is addressed by international environmental law, including by soft law instruments. This study received financial support from the Port-Cros National Park, the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. |
