Datasets of odontocete sounds annotated for developing automatic detection methods
Environmental laws and public concern require that the U.S. Navy conduct operations and training such that impacts to marine mammals are minimized and any adverse impacts mitigated. To that end, it is important for the Navy to monitor the occurrence and behavior of marine mammals during research and...

Environmental laws and public concern require that the U.S. Navy conduct operations and training such that impacts to marine mammals are minimized and any adverse impacts mitigated.
