Real-Time Acoustic Monitoring

Our team has a strong foundational understanding of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) requirements for monitoring anthropogenic underwater noise.

We can help you:

  • Design and implement real-time acoustic monitoring programs

  • Operate and manage hydrophones in dynamic marine environments

  • Develop and execute adaptive management protocols, where required

  • Communicate effectively between clients, contractors, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)

Dynamic Ocean’s technicians and marine biologists ensure your project meets compliance expectations while delivering reliable and accurate data collection and reporting.

Autonomous Acoustic Monitoring

For longer-term monitoring needs, we deploy and manage autonomous hydrophones capable of recording continuously for days, weeks, or months.

Our services include:

  • Designing and deploying long-term acoustic monitoring programs

  • Recovering and analyzing recorded data

  • Assessing local underwater sound levels

  • Identifying sources of anthropogenic noise

  • Detecting biological sounds from marine mammals and fish

This data provides valuable insights for baseline environmental assessments, impact evaluations, and ongoing monitoring programs.
