Passive Acoustic Reporting System Templates
June 09, 2026
Template datasheets and guide for providing passive acoustic detection data.
The Passive Acoustic Reporting System Templates have moved to the new Passive Acoustic Reporting System (PARS) homepage. There you will find templates, instructions, and a new form for submitting passive acoustic detection data to NOAA Fisheries for display on the Passive Acoustic Cetacean Map (PACM). Please update your bookmarks accordingly.
For 24-hour reporting of real-time North Atlantic right whale detections, please refer to the Template Datasheet For Real-Time North Atlantic Right Whale Acoustic and Visual Observation Data for the Real-Time NARW Reporting Template and reporting instructions. Please do not submit 24-hour reports through PARS.
