Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics (CCB; formerly the Bioacoustics Research Program) at Cornell University’s Lab of Ornithology was contracted by the NYSDEC, Division of Marine Resources to conduct a three-year passive acoustic monitoring survey within New York Bight (NY Bight) to assess marine mammal occurrence and patterns of ambient noise in this region. Six large whale species known to occur within NY Bight are the focus of this passive acoustic monitoring effort: North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis), humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus), sei whales (B. borealis), blue whales (B. musculus), and sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus). This report describes the results from Year-3 of this passive acoustic survey and provides a summary of results from the 3-year data collected.
