Background 1.Ecological Acoustic Monitor (EAR) modified and deployed at Kilo Nalu site – up and running 1 st week in Nov, 2008 2.Sounds being heard Boats, boats, boats and more boats. humpback whales dolphin echolocation clicks snapping shrimp rain

POSSIBLE PRODUCTS 1.Obtaining acoustic signature of small boat Navy has many signatures of ships – not small boats Home land security or coastal security issues 2.Long term – time series of snapping shrimp sounds biological indicator of negative effects on environment i.e. EARs data from Kure and Pearl and Hermes show lower levels for up to a day after a storm. 3.Behavioral pattern of Humpback whales off Oahu data for management of HIHWNMS arrival and departure off Oahu effects of anthropogenic noise
