An Ocean Observing System for Large-Scale Monitoring and Mapping of Noise Throughout the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary

The project goals are to map the low-frequency (1000 Hz) ocean noise budget throughout the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary (SBNMS) ecosystem, identify and quantify the contributing sources of anthropogenic sounds within that ecosystem, and determine whether or not such noises have the pote...

Description
Summary:The project goals are to map the low-frequency (1000 Hz) ocean noise budget throughout the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary (SBNMS) ecosystem, identify and quantify the contributing sources of anthropogenic sounds within that ecosystem, and determine whether or not such noises have the potential to impact endangered marine mammals and fishes that use the Sanctuary. Prepared in cooperation with Marine Acoustics, Inc., Middletown, RI; Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, NOAA National Ocean Service, Scituate, MA; and Northeast Fisheries Science Center, NOAA Fisheries, Woods Hole, MA.
