A growing coalition of scientists, educators, and citizens are working together
to expand a regional hydrophone network in the Salish Sea. This site is part
of the SeaSound
Project of The Whale Museum and is an experiment in sharing
real-time underwater sound from different "nodes" of the network via the
Internet. Listen live via the links in the table below, or via the links in the pop-up description you get by clicking the green markers on the Google map. For some hydrophones you can also watch live video from nearby (by clicking on the camera icons). The other icons are planned or non-live hydrophones in the region. 2008 listening challenge: Help notify researchers when orcas are in the Salish Sea. If you hear killer whales please email detection@orcasound.net or log your observations. Learn to infer which pod is present by learning their stereotypical calls from the Salish Sea sound tutor.
