Noise Map of Galápagos: Science to Protect Biodiversity

We monitor environmental noise and educate the community to reduce human impact on Galápagos biodiversity

About Us

Our Initiatives in Galápagos

Acoustic Monitoring

We implement land and marine stations to measure environmental noise levels in real time across the islands and protect biodiversity.

Environmental Education

We promote talks, training sessions, and educational campaigns to help the community understand the impact of noise and encourage responsible tourism.

Marine Conservation

We develop acoustic research projects with hydrophone buoys, supporting the preservation of marine species and sensitive ecosystems.

Noice Map

First Traffic Noise Map in Galápagos: Science, Law, and Education to Protect the Environment.

The Galápagos Islands are taking a historic step toward environmental protection with the development of their first official Traffic Noise Map. This pioneering project combines world-class science, strict legal frameworks, and a strong educational commitment to measure and regulate the impact of road traffic on both nature and communities.

Monitoring stations

Real-Time Noise Monitoring Stations in Galápagos: Technology and Education for Environmental Protection.

We are implementing four online noise monitoring stations in Baltra, Puerto Ayora, Charles Darwin Avenue, and Tortuga Bay to track noise levels in real time. Equipped with advanced software and AI, these stations send automatic alerts when noise exceeds legal limits, providing authorities with accurate data while supporting educational programs for schools and the community. This initiative strengthens environmental management and helps raise awareness of the impact of human activities on the islands’ ecosystems.

The first

First Noise Map in Galápagos

With the support of Galápagos Life Fund (GLF), we began developing the first Noise Map of Puerto Ayora and Baltra, using the international CadnaA software and ISO17025-accredited measurements.

This project sets a historic precedent in the islands: a scientific and legal tool that will enable authorities to regulate noise pollution and protect biodiversity in urban and coastal areas.
