Passive acoustic monitoring of Gulf of Maine waters is a critical aspect of understanding long term changes in North Atlantic right whale (NARW) presence and distribution within this region. An improved understanding of the presence of this species is needed in order to better monitor changes in distribution patterns and occurrence of this endangered species as well as to help understand where the risk of entanglement in fishing gear and ship strike may occur. These raw passive acoustic data will help develop mitigation strategies required by the U.S. by the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act. The objective of this project is to maintain a passive acoustic monitoring network in inshore Gulf of Maine waters for at least 5 years.
