About

Passive acoustic monitoring was conducted in the Navy’s Southern California (SOCAL) Range Complex from August 2023 to December 2024 in four locations to detect marine mammal and anthropogenic sounds. A new monitoring site was established offshore Morro Bay. Four CalCOFI cruises were conducted from fall 2023 to summer 2024 and included a total of 86 days at sea. Several active research projects within our lab group utilize data from sites funded by the Navy, contributing to significant advancements in marine mammal acoustics and ecosystem monitoring. In 2024 alone, these projects have resulted in multiple publications and conference presentations.
