WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT
I am happy to announce a workshop to be held on Monday, 4th September 2006 in
Stralsund, Germany entitled
Static Acoustic Monitoring (SAM) as a tool for Environmental Impact Studies
with emphasis on Offshore Wind Farm Construction
The subject of this one-day workshop is the application of static passive
acoustic monitoring devices like the T-POD (Chelonia Ltd, Long Rock, UK), a
self-contained submersible data-logger for porpoises and dolphins, in
