CHukchi Acoustics, Oceanography, and Zooplankton Study (CHAOZ)

Use passive acoustic techniques to document the general presence and detailed movements of bowhead, fin, gray, humpback, and other baleen whales in areas of potential seismic, drilling, construction, and production activities. 2. Compare spatial and temporal trends in cetacean calling behavior to changes in environmental conditions. Three arrays of five subsurface moorings will be deployed in the vicinity of the lease area/Hannah Shoal (exact locations TBD.)

Proposed continuation of project in 2013: Chukchi Acoustic, Oceanography and Zooplankton Study: Hanna Shoal (Extension of CHAOZ)
