NOAA Fisheries is using advanced technologies and artificial intelligence to collect and analyze red snapper and reef fish data. These technologies can identify species, abundance, and the health of observed fish stocks, leading to more reliable data.
Listen to exemplar sound clips of marine sounds, taken from passive acoustic recorders. We have compiled these sounds to provide examples of the variety and breadth of fish and invertebrate sounds.
Listen to exemplar sound clips of marine sounds, taken from passive acoustic recorders. We have compiled these sounds to provide examples of the variety and breadth of natural and man-made sounds.
Listen to exemplar sound clips of marine mammal sounds, taken from passive acoustic recorders. We have compiled these sounds to provide examples of the variety and breadth of animal sounds.
We use passive acoustic technologies to study the behavior and movements of marine animals, their contribution to the ocean soundscape, and how they are affected by human-made sounds.
We conclude that long-term passive acoustic monitoring (PAM records) are a valuable resource for documenting cetacean species patterns and contributes insights into the lives of top predators.
We use acoustic recordings from marine protected areas to monitor patterns of vessel presence and identify characteristics of potentially non-compliant vessels to aid local patrolling and enforcement efforts.
