The Effects of Ambient Noise Field on the Behavior of Baleen Whales - Pilot Program

Abstract

A program of fieldwork was carried out at Peregian Beach, Australia, between 13 September and 26 October. The work was a Pilot Study for a Main Study in 2003 and 2004 concerning the setting to work of a system for passive acoustic and visual tracking of whales, as well as collecting acoustic and remotely observed behavioral data to provide the baseline information of the undisturbed "normal" behavior of the whales during migration along the coast of Australia.
