Journal ArticleDOI
Cetacean abundance and distribution in European Atlantic shelf waters to inform conservation and management
Philip S. Hammond,Kelly Macleod,Per Berggren,David L. Borchers,M Louise Burt,Ana Cañadas,Geneviève Desportes,Greg P Donovan,Anita Gilles,Douglas Gillespie,Jonathan Gordon,Lex Hiby,Iwona Kuklik,Russell Leaper,Kristina Lehnert,Mardik F. Leopold,Philip Lovell,Nils Øien,Charles G. M. Paxton,Vincent Ridoux,Emer Rogan,Filipa I. P. Samarra,Meike Scheidat,Marina Sequeira,Ursula Siebert,Henrik Skov,René Swift,Mark L. Tasker,Jonas Teilmann,Olivier Van Canneyt,José Antonio Vázquez +30 more
TL;DR: The entire EU Atlantic continental shelf was surveyed in July 2005 to generate robust estimates of abundance for harbour porpoise and other cetacean species, and abundance in 2005 was similar to that in 2004.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the effects of seismic surveys on marine mammals
Jonathan Gordon,Douglas Gillespie,John R. Potter,Alexandros Frantzis,Mark P. Simmonds,René Swift,David Thompson +6 more
TL;DR: This review highlights significant gaps in knowledge of the effects of seismic air gun noise on marine mammals and suggests a precautionary approach to management and regulation must be recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
PAMGUARD: Semiautomated, open source software for real‐time acoustic detection and localization of cetaceans.
Douglas Gillespie,David K. Mellinger,Jonathan Gordon,David Joseph McLaren,Paul Redmond,R. McHugh,Philip Trinder,Xiao‐Yan Deng,Aaron Thode +8 more
TL;DR: PAMGUARD provides a flexible and easy‐to‐use suite of detection, localization, data management, and display modules that provide a standard interface across different platforms with the flexibility to allow multiple detectors to be added, removed, and configured according to the species of interest and the hardware configuration on a particular project.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of unmanned vehicles for the detection and monitoring of marine fauna
Ursula K. Verfuss,Ana Sofia Aniceto,Danielle Harris,Douglas Gillespie,Sophie Fielding,Guillermo Jimenez,Phil Johnston,Rachael R. Sinclair,Agnar Sivertsen,S. Solbo,Rune Storvold,Martin Biuw,Roy Wyatt +12 more
TL;DR: The present status of unmanned vehicles suitable for marine animal monitoring conducted in relation to industrial offshore activities is reviewed, highlighting which systems are suitable for three main monitoring types: population, mitigation, and focal animal monitoring.
Journal Article
Detection and classification of right whale calls using an 'edge' detector operating on a smoothed spectrogram
TL;DR: The detection system is capable of picking out a high proportion of right whale calls logged by a human operator, while at the same time working at a false alarm rate of only one or two calls per day, even in the presence of background noise from humpback whales and seismic exploration.
