New findings from Boundary Pass show the underwater soundscape is degrading, and current protections are not keeping pace.
Raincoast has hosted the NoiseTracker initiative since 2023. This year, we have shifted our focus from building a coast-wide noise monitoring platform to a more localized underwater noise research and analysis program. Through NoiseTracker, we aim to provide governments and decision-makers with science-based recommendations that support healthy marine ecosystems.
One of our most striking findings in 2024 was a negative relationship between the health of females and the number of offspring they had.
We hosted a learning event on underwater noise.
Donate and help us unite hydrophone operators along the pacific coast to increase science-based decision making to reduce noise impacts on marine life, and inform the public about anthropogenic noise.
The Cetacean Conservation Research Program studies the biology, ecology, and behavior of whales and dolphins.
We are set to begin tracking water pollution and underwater noise on the Sunshine Coast.
Suzie Hall has joined our Cetacean Conservation Research team to assist with our new NoiseTracker initiative.
Celebrating the application of Passive Acoustic Monitoring around the world.
NoiseTracker is a collaborative initiative that hopes to unite all existing hydrophone operators along the BC coast in a common effort to provide an easily accessible central platform for monitoring ocean noise.
Raincoast continues to work toward an ocean that provides healthy, abundant salmon and is quiet enough for hunting and feeding.
Our research helps us better understand their susceptibility to anthropogenic threats and the impact of those threats, and develop practical and effective measures to reduce them.
