OceanObserver Underwater Listening Stations

Cabled observatory solutions with intelligent acoustic and ocean monitoring

Our bottom-mounted sensor platforms help our clients understand and manage the impacts of underwater radiated noise (URN) on marine life. These cabled observatories measure acoustic signatures and, with tailored onboard processing, deliver actionable results.

Processed results can include real-time detections of marine mammals to alert ships, vessel noise emission measurements, and notifications of sound levels above regulatory thresholds. Includes oceanographic measurements with your choice of sensors. Results can be provided online in real-time via JASCO’s PortListen data portal. PortListen provides fast and intuitive online access to current and historical measurements and results.
