The Development of Advanced Passive Acoustic Monitoring Systems Using microMARS Technology

Abstract

The goal of this project is the development of an advanced yet compact and easy to use passive acoustic monitoring system that will allow localization, tracking and real-time monitoring of marine mammals from their vocalizations. While a variety of localization systems are currently available, few are autonomous recorder based. Advanced microMARS will provide the science community with a practical system for extended duration marine mammal localization that will be available in a number of configurations for deep and shallow water environments alike.
