Abstract:

The principle goal of this project was to study responses of Cuviers beaked whales Ziphius cavirostris to MFA sonar signals. Secondary goals included conducting a killer whale playback that has not been preceded by a sonar playback as in Tyack et al. 2011 and collecting more baseline data on Ziphius. This is the final report of this project.
