Project Description: Using acoustic data to assess soniferous marine life and anthropogenic noise over time. The goal of this project is to evaluate both existing and newly collected marine soundscapes to provide the park with valuable baseline information.
Project Objectives – The objectives of this project are to
a. provide baseline information about marine soundscapes and how they may be
affected by environmental change;
b. detect species of concern, including ecologically/commercially important fish and
invertebrates, as well as dolphin species prone to mass stranding in this area;
c. enable prediction of mass stranding events, to improve dolphin health outcomes.
