Description:
"Cetacean distribution and abundance in the Mariana Archipelago was relatively unstudied until recently. Although there has been increasing effort to understand the occurrence of various cetacean species in both near shore and offshore waters, there is still relatively little known about their occurrence seasonally, or their prevalence relative to other regions. To better understand the seasonal distribution of cetaceans in the Marianas, the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) deployed a long-term acoustic recorder in the region in 2010, expanded that effort to two sites in 2011, and has been monitoring both sites since that time"--Page 1.
