Project Description: The primary objective of this project is to expand upon a previous passive acoustic effort in Florida Bay, applying state-of the-art passive acoustic sensors to the detection of several soniferous fish and shrimp species and to develop techniques for passive acoustic data management and processing that is appropriate for use in remote monitoring. Additional objectives include evaluating the impact of recent ecological events and management actions by extracting ecologically significant information from remote locations within Everglades National Park. This project provides research and technical assistance to the National Park Service while students and faculty of Cornell University gain new knowledge and experience through research on natural resources. Researchers external to the NPS will gain new knowledge provided through this research and related results dissemination of the natural resource management information.
