Abstract:

The project goals are to map the low-frequency 1000 Hz ocean noise budget throughout the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary SBNMS ecosystem, identify and quantify the contributing sources of anthropogenic sounds within that ecosystem, and determine whether or not such noises have the potential to impact endangered marine mammals and fishes that use the Sanctuary.
