  • Article
The future of marine mammal monitoring (EN)

Passive acoustic monitoring collects data on marine mammal populations, their distribution, behavior and interaction with human activities. These data are essential for understanding the state of marine mammal populations and for implementing effective protection measures.

Laurent Guerineau, manager of Sercel’s Underwater Business Acoustics Unit, says that Passive Acoustic Monitoring must respond to big changes ahead in the environmental.
