AB - The purpose of the present document is to give guidance on the setting of EU threshold values related to anthropogenic continuous noise in water1. Such guidance is meant to be used by regulators and managers of the EU Member States (MS) aiming to achieve Good Environmental Status of their marine waters, as requested by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD).This document is intended to inform managers and other stakeholders of practical options for setting threshold values for continuous sound. The rationale for setting regional conditions to evaluate the status of habitat is explained. Practical examples that illustrate regional approaches are demonstrated in detail. Finally, and most important to managers, options for setting threshold values for continuous sound are illustrated.
