Each year, JASCO worked with Olgoonik/ Fairweather LLC to deploy dozens of AMARs to record underwater sound in a wide area of the Chukchi Sea off the coast of Alaska. Jointly funded by ConocoPhillips, Shell Exploration & Production, and Statoil USA Exploration and Production, the yearly monitoring programs included clusters of recorders around well sites in summer and four lines of over-winter recorders that extended up to 250 km from the Alaskan north shore. This massive multi-year program greatly contributed to our scientific knowledge of marine mammals in the area.
