This document provides comments on the report of the Correspondence Group on Underwater Radiated Noise, supporting the proposed establishment of a working group at this session and providing input on next steps under the proposed terms of reference for this group.

This document shares the findings of a study on the potential underwater radiated noise (URN) impacts of LNG development on marine mammals in the Gulf of California. The report examines the effects of URN from LNG tanker traffic on migratory and resident whales, as well as related impacts on air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
