Marine Acoustics Research Station
The Marine Acoustics Research Station (MARS) is part of a world-class applied research project to understand and measure the underwater noise radiated by ships and to propose appropriate methods for its reduction. This project is in collaboration with Canadian shipowners and regulators. It is co-directed by the Institut des sciences de la mer of the Université du Québec à Rimouski (ISMER-UQAR) and the Centre de recherche appliquée Innovation maritime (IMAR), with support from MultiÉlectronique, OpDAQ, and shipowners Algoma, CSL, Desgagnés, and Fednav.
