The presented work aims to evaluate the possible impact of shipping noise on the marine fauna in the vicinity of the Gdynia Harbour. Measurements were performed in the area at the distance of 0.2 NM to the fairway. For this purpose, statistics of Sound Pressure Level (SPL), Sound Exposure Level (SEL), and Power Spectral Density (PSD) were evaluated. Some specific changes of the ambient and shipping noise spectra are given in examples.
