SOCAL Beaked Whale Occurrence from Towed Array

About

The goal of our project “Southern California Beaked Whale Occurrence from Towed Array Surveys” is to support the US Navy environmental compliance requirements for monitoring marine mammals. This research effort is performed by the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) in La Jolla, CA as part of a larger effort. Data collected by a shipboard towed array acoustic survey for marine mammals is being analyzed. These data will provide for spatial assessment of Southern California beaked whale occurrence from towed array surveys.
