Passive Acoustic Studies of North Atlantic Right Whales
Project
In Work
Passive acoustic monitoring buoys have been deployed in shallow waters between North Carolina and Northern Florida since 2003. These units are bottom mounted recorders that collect data on sound for periods of 3-6 months. The resulting data are analyzed to identify vocalizations that are unique to North Atlantic Right whales to document their occurrence in these waters. These data have been used to evaluate the seasonal occurrence of North Atlantic right whales in waters south of North Carolina during winter months.
To use passive acoustic monitoring to examine the occurrence of North Atlantic Right Whales in waters of the southeast U.S.
Passive acoustic monitoring data from long term (3-9 month) deployments of moored units in winter calving habitats of the North Atlantic right whale. Data were collected through contracts with Cornell University. Data types include both raw acoustic so
