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

Abstract

This project represented a high-level, integrative 'bench mark' study aimed at characterizing the marine acoustic environment and the health of an urbanized, productive ecosystem, SBNMS. The primary products were a suite of tools designed to be transferable to other ecological regions and an extensive database specific to the project. These included both mechanisms for data collection and analysis as well as a conceptual framework for integrating and interpreting the scientific results.
