Puget Sound fact of the day: Because of its glacial origins the Sound is deep, averaging 70 m, compared to an average of just 6 m for the shallow, muddy Chesapeake. Read more in the #PugetSoundFactbook at eopugetsound.org/terms/370

Ketos v2.4 - a python package for developing deep learning models to solve detection and classification tasks in underwater acoustics - has been added to @ComputeCanada!

Looking forward to listening live to #ultrasonic marine creatures within the @OrcasoundApp ... this is an inspiring story of high-frequency terrestrial mammal recordings. theguardian.com/environment/…
The addition of Peter Ross @calypsocoast to @Raincoast is a HUGE win for #FraserRiver #Salmon & #orcas. Let the waters run cleaner across the #SalishSea!
Press release: Internationally-recognized pollution expert to join Raincoast’s conservation team

Bravo to @GatoVerde360 for upgrading the pioneering electric propulsion system on the sailing catamaran that supported so many Beam Reach student research projects by enabling us to listen for #orcas while moving with them! linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…
Nice synopsis of #ocean #noise #pollution sources & solutions from @sciam's Joseph Polidoro -- scientificamerican.com/artic…
Come #hack with us a week from Saturday!
You heard of whale watching, but whale listening? @OrcasoundApp uses hydrophones and tech to listen to these amazing and critically endangered creatures. You can be part of their amazing work. Join the conservation efforts here: ow.ly/N33I50CNIt5

Bravo to our colleagues up north! @bcwhales_org @orcalabbc @SIMRES
We're excited to help reduce #ship #noise in #PugetSound for endangered #orcas through the "Quiet Sound" initiative announced last week by @maritime_blue, @PortofSeattle, @NOAAFisheries, & others. Here's a quick synopsis from @KNKXBellamy of @knkxfm.

Can miniaturised tech help us make #tech4wildlife less invasive and easier to use? Check out this incredible news from @UW about their new #sensors that are small enough to be remotely deployed in hard-to-reach environments by a moth!

Excited that @maritime_blue will run the Maritime Blue Accelerator again in 2021! Here's a @PortofSeattle post about how it benefited us in 2020, as well as #whale #conservation through cooperative partnerships like the @OrcasoundApp.

Good idea: create an open-source repository of global AIS data to inform epidemiological models.

We @Raincoast relieved that CEAA found significant adverse & cumulative effects to endangered #SRKW & Fraser Chinook from Terminal 2 expansion, but why is hatchery production seen as a solution? When do we abandon this profound failure of an approach raincoast.org/press/2020/ter…
Are orcas (likely Bigg's mammal-eating killer whales) foraging deeper than normal in urban estuaries of the #SalishSea due to lessened vessel impacts due to #covid19? Here's a rare sighting that suggests "yes!"
Apparently the natural world likes the economic slow down. Saw a pod of four Orca whales in Indian Arm yesterday. First time in my 59 years I have seen whales this far up the Arm. #northvan
