Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds (GLUBS)\u00a0<\/h1>\n

With the growing threats of climate change, habitat degradation, and dramatic biodiversity loss as a result of human activity, it is more important than ever to document, quantify, and understand the underwater biological realm. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) provides a non-invasive window into this world, a world that presents significant challenges to study. Underwater soundscapes can inform on the presence of key or invasive species, type and condition of habitats, critical behaviors, and biodiversity hotspots.<\/p>\n

A recent paper by Parsons et. al (2022)<\/a> describes the need to connect the global PAM community and increase data sharing and accessibility for a common goal of marine conservation. The proposed, multi-level reference e-library for underwater sounds will incorporate existing libraries from around the world, repositories of annotated sound sources, a training platform for acoustic AI algorithms, and a citizen science-based application for public users.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"soundscape\"\n\t
