Passive acoustic monitoring is a key enabling technology in mitigating the effects of Naval activities on sound-sensitive cetaceans. The goals of this project are to obtain and disseminate critical information needed for the design of acoustic monitoring systems. The primary objectives of the work are: 1. Develop and evaluate passive acoustic detection/classification methods for click and whistle sounds produced by deep-diving toothed whales. 2. Examine the relationships between diving, acoustic behavior, habitat use and group size with implications for acoustic detection and density estimation of toothed whales. 3. Correlate fine-scale oceanographic parameters with foraging behavior of tagged whales to predict habitat suitability and movement patterns.
