activities and its effects on marine life. Topics include: 1) improving
duration of medium-term telemetry tag attachment, 2) demonstration and
validation of PAM-based density estimation methods using visually verified
survey data, 3) investigation of the effects of cue rate and cue stability on
PAM-based density estimation methods, 4) demonstration and validation of
passive acoustic monitoring sparse arrays to estimate density of low-frequency
whales over large spatial areas, 5) identifying monitoring priorities for
studying the population consequences of disturbance on marine mammals, and 6)
turtle temporary threshold shift feasibility study.
Details regarding the need topics mentioned above, as well as the associated
Appendices, can be found within the BAA (Solicitation # N3943018S2086) at
