A Power Analysis and Recommended Study Design to Directly Detect Population Level Consequences of Acoustic Disturbance

Abstract

Provide advice to the Navy on how best to monitor health and status of beaked whale populations on and in the vicinity of the SOAR range within the Southern California Bight based data from a fixed acoustic array and photo-ID program. Recommendations will be based on addressing the following question: How do quantify potential human impacts on the health of beaked whale populations?
