Blast and noise impacts

Extreme shock waves emanate from underwater detonations. They spread almost undamped and at different velocities in water and the seabed. Impact forces and shear forces have tearing effects on the tissues of marine creatures, particularly those with air or fat in exposed organs.

The results of scientific studies on modern methods for minimising the risks of detonations during ammunition disposal demonstrate effective approaches. H. For example, for more than ten years, bubble curtains around detonation sites have been proven to protect porpoises in the North and Baltic Sea.
