Many organisms depend on sound for communication, predator/prey detection and
navigation. The acoustic environment can therefore play an important role in ecosystem …

Reliable estimation of the size or density of wild animal populations is very important for
effective wildlife management, conservation and ecology. Currently, the most widely used …

Fixed autonomous acoustic recording devices (autonomous recorders [ARs]) are defined as
any electronic recording system that acquires and stores acoustic data internally (ie, without …

The rapid increase in development of offshore wind energy in European waters has raised
concern for the possible environmental impacts of wind farms. We studied whether harbour …

Energetic tidal-stream environments are characterized by frequent, variable, yet broadly
predictable currents containing ephemeral flow structures that change across multiple spatio …

Moored passive acoustic detectors (eg C-PODs) are widely used to study harbour porpoise
Phocoena phocoena distribution and relative abundance, but their use in tidal-stream …

Autonomous gliders are a relatively new technology for studying oceanography over large
time and space scales. We integrated a hydrophone into the aft cowling of a glider and used …

The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) requires European Member States (MS)
to develop strategies for their marine waters that should lead to programmes of measures …

Sound is the main means of communication for cetaceans, and studying their vocal
behaviour can reveal important information about their activity patterns. As static acoustic …

Tropical cyclones have large effects on marine ecosystems through direct (eg, storm surge)
and indirect (eg, nutrient runoff) effects. Given their intensity, understanding their effects on …
