Glider-based Passive Acoustic Monitoring Techniques in the Southern California Region & West Coast Naval Training Range Demonstration of Glider-based Passive Acoustic Monitoring
Abstract
The long-term goals are to develop and improve glider-based and autonomous-platform-based marine mammal monitoring for Navy environmental compliance, as well as for basic scientific studies of marine mammals. Autonomous glider-based passive acoustic monitoring of marine mammal presence is particularly needed within the southern California offshore region, a site of significant naval training. We aim to create operational glider-based marine mammal detection, classification, and localization systems to provide timely information on marine mammal presence to support Navy mitigation efforts in the southern California region. An important aspect to achieving these goals is quantitative evaluation of the monitoring capabilities of passive acoustic systems, and separation of calling behavior from the effects of the environment.
