Marine Vibroseis Behavioral Response Study: A Success

The tremendous efforts of dozens of Marine Vibroseis team members finally paid off after years of preparation, planning and finally… execution. Between June 24th and July 16th, 33 satellite tags were deployed on cetaceans in Catalina, off the coast of California. This multiple-scale field effort successfully…and safely…collected an incredible amount of dive, position, acoustic, and heart-rate (!) data. We all know these efforts and achievements don’t come without their own setbacks (thanks, Covid), but SEA thanks this team that was willful and determined to overcome and tackle this difficult but exciting new work.

*All research was conducted under NMFS permits #26329 and #21678.
