Passive acoustic monitoring was conducted in the Navy’s Southern California Range Complex during March 2012 through December 2012 to detect the presence of marine mammal and anthropogenic sounds. High-frequency Acoustic Recording Packages (HARPs) recorded sounds between 10 Hz and 100 kHz with continuous temporal coverage at a site near Santa Barbara Island (site M), at a site west of San Clemente Island (site H), and a site southwest of San Clemente Island (site N).
