Passive Acoustic Monitoring Gulf of Alaska 2014-2015

About

Passive acoustic monitoring was conducted in the Gulf of Alaska Temporary Maritime Activities Area (GATMAA) from April 2014 to May 2015 to detect marine mammal and anthropogenic sounds. High-frequency Acoustic Recording Packages (HARPs) recorded sounds between 10 Hz and 100 kHz at five locations: a shelf site offshore Kenai Peninsula (200 m depth, site CA), a continental slope site in deep water (900 m depth, site CB), a slope site offshore Kodiak Island (200 m depth, site KO), a deep offshore site at Pratt Seamount (1000 m depth, site PT), and a deep offshore site at Quinn Seamount (900 m depth, site QN).
