This project seeks to understand the long-term changes in human activities, marine organisms, and marine communities. We have deployed a network of autonomous underwater recorders call SoundTraps by Ocean Instruments that record the soundscape for months at a time.  A sample of our 2,000,000 minutes of recordings is already in our project at RFCxArbimon. In 2023, part of this sound library will be made available to the public to support outreach and education efforts about our oceans. For more information email the PI Dr. May-Collado [email protected].
