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.
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.
