Main outcomes 1. There are two ways forward to address continuous underwater noise: the way assessments are done and the measures that can be applied. 2. Relevant measures that can already be applied: no enter zones, operational measures (e.g. speed restrictions) and technological improvements. 2. Underwater noise is an issue that can be easily solved: when you switch it off, it disappears. 3. It´s important to raise awareness in boating communities about this issue and the technological solutions available. 4. Standardization of data and how to connect research studies are relevant factors for wider reporting.
