Monitoring Saanich Inlet and the Strait of Georgia: Fall inshore expedition (2016)

Twice a year, every spring and fall, Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) heads to sea aboard the Canadian Coast Guard Vessel (CCGV) John Tully to maintain and upgrade ocean monitoring instrumentation in Saanich Inlet and the Strait of Georgia. Between 4 - 11 October 2016, in addition to the infrastructure maintenance priorities of the expedition, the ONC team also successfully deployed new instrumentation, carried out several activities in support of our science community, and collected samples for benchmarking and calibration of instruments.

Noise pollution is a problem for whales, dolphins and other marine animals that depend on sounds to communicate, hunt, find mates and navigate complex seafloor terrain.

Although underwater sound pollution is suspected to have many...
