STRAIT OF GEORGIA—A science team deployed a 450-kilogram “underwater listening station” on the floor of the Strait of Georgia on Friday, in an attempt to further unlock the secrets of ocean noise.

The $500,000-per-year initiative also involves Transport Canada, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority and Jasco Applied Sciences working aboard the John P. Tully, a 69-metre-long Canadian Coast Guard research ship.
