Marine Mammal Acoustic Effect Modeling Conducted for the Undersea Warfare Training Range Preferred Site at Onslow Bay

Abstract

The Undersea Warfare Training Range is a proposed training range with candidate sites in waters off the coast of Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida. Construction of the range requires an approved Environmental Impact Statement. This report describes the modeling approach, inputs, and analysis results of the Marine Mammal Acoustic Effects Model that was developed in support of the Undersea Warfare Training Range to estimate the training range acoustic effects on mammals in the candidate sites.
