WHOI engineer Daniel Bogorff and guest student Margot Wilsterman (Connecticut College) travel by boat to the site where 130 wind turbines will be built. They deployed a mooring with an underwater acoustic instrument that records ambient underwater sounds. WHOI researchers Aran Mooney and Laela Sayigh will analyze the data to assess and identify sounds from marine animals and human activities at the site before, during, and after construction.
