Acoustic Behavior, Baseline Ecology and Habitat use of Pelagic Odontocete Species of Concern
Abstract
Obtain critical sound use, behavioral ecology, and fine-scale habitat use information for two pelagic species of odontocete cetaceans that inhabit regions of significant U.S. Naval operations and may be impacted by coincident Naval training activities. The goal is to establish baseline acoustics, behavior and ecology of these species to predict and mitigate potential human impacts. Information gained will provide a context for evaluating natural behavioral ecology and potential responses to anthropogenic sounds.
