Design of a Multi-Week Sound and Motion Recording and Telemetry (SMRT) Tag for Behavioral Studies on Whales

Abstract

This project will lead to the development of new tag technology to study the behavioral effects of sound on wild marine mammals over extended time intervals. This technology will enable fine-scale studies of sound exposure and responses under authentic conditions and will provide data needed to assess the biological significance of responses.
