Goal: To determine acoustic based density and abundance estimates for sperm whales in the Northern Mariana Islands, using data collected during a research cruise conducted during the winter and spring of 2007. Time Period: 2015 Our...
We are leading an R&D project to develop a fully digital, three-dimensional, towed hydrophone array system (the 3-D-V Array). It will be capable of obtaining 3-D bearings, and ultimately, localizations to sound sources such...
Bio-waves is currently conducting towed hydrophone array surveys and advising our research partners, SocioAmbiental and Ecowaves, who are responsible for conducting baseline surveys and tagging of marine mammals in the Santos Basin, a large marine area...
Goal: To conduct a study of the distribution and behavior of Southern Resident killer whales in the outer coastal waters off Washington, Oregon and California. Time Period: 2004-Present Our Role: To operate the passive acoustic hardware and...
Goal: To localize and track the movements of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) in and out of the Gulf of Mexico. Time Period: 2012 Our Role: To provide assistance with the passive acoustics component of this research effort....
Goal: To provide the Republic of Palau with information about their marine mammal populations, to aid in marine conservation efforts Time Period: 2012 Our Role: To provide passive acoustic equipment and a researcher to collect passive acoustic...
Goal: To collect baseline information on marine mammal behaviors in the Southern California Bight using both acoustic and visual methods. This information is being collected in order to better assess the potential effects of U.S....
