Marine Mammal HiCUP: A High Current Underwater Platform for the Long-Term Monitoring of Fine-Scale Marine Mammal Behavior Around Tidal Turbines

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Arrays of tidal turbines are being considered for tidally energetic coastal sites which can be important habitat for many species of marine mammal. Understanding risks to marine mammals from collisions with moving turbine blades must be overcome before ...

Did the pile driving during the construction of the Offshore Wind Farm Egmond aan Zee, the Netherlands, impact porpoises? [PDF]

, 2012
The Dutch consortium "NoordzeeWind" has built the first offshore wind farm in Dutch North Sea waters, known as "Offshore Wind farm Egmond aan Zee" (OWEZ) Part of the construction works consisted of driving 36 monopiles into the sea floor, during April ...

MoveTraits-A Database for Integrating Animal Behaviour Into Trait-Based Ecology. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
We propose integrating animal behaviour into trait‐based ecology through movement traits – standardised and comparable metrics of animal movement derived from biologging data, such as daily displacements or range sizes. Explicitly accounting for behaviour will advance trait‐based research and allow for the quantification of behavioural reaction norms ...

Applying Two Active Acoustic Technologies to Document Presence of Large Marine Animal Targets at a Marine Renewable Energy Site

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Coastal regions are highly used by humans. The growing marine renewable energy (MRE) industry will add to existing anthropogenic pressures in these regions.

Bio-Inspired Covert Active Sonar Strategy

Sensors, 2018
The covertness of the active sonar is a very important issue and the sonar signal waveform design problem was studied to improve covertness of the system.

Cooperative spectrum sensing and data transmission optimization for multichannel cognitive sonar communication network

EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, 2017
The natural acoustic system used by marine mammals and the artificial sonar system used by humans coexist in the underwater cognitive sonar communication networks (CSCN). They share the spectrum when they are in the same waters.

Blue whales respond to anthropogenic noise.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Anthropogenic noise may significantly impact exposed marine mammals. This work studied the vocalization response of endangered blue whales to anthropogenic noise sources in the mid-frequency range using passive acoustic monitoring in the Southern ...

Kernel density estimation of conditional distributions to detect responses in satellite tag data

Animal Biotelemetry, 2022
Background As levels of anthropogenic noise in the marine environment rise, it is crucial to quantify potential associated effects on marine mammals. Yet measuring responses is challenging because most species spend the majority of their time submerged ...

Changes in dive behaviour during naval sonar exposure in killer whales, long-finned pilot whales and sperm whales

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Anthropogenic underwater sound in the environment might potentially affect the behavior of marine mammals enough to have an impact on their reproduction and survival.
