    • SanctSound Raw Passive Acoustic Data

    Metadata Updated: June 9, 2023

    This record represents the raw passive acoustic data collected from the NOAA-Navy Sanctuary Soundscapes Monitoring Project (SanctSound). NOAA and the U.S. Navy are working to better understand underwater sound within the U.S. National Marine Sanctuary System. From 2018 to 2021, these agencies collected passive acoustic data to study sound at 30 recording sites within seven national marine sanctuaries and one marine national monument, which includes waters off Hawai'i and the east and west coasts.
