Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) Program for the Northern Gulf of Mexico; Task 1, literature review

Description
Readily available literature and data on prior and ongoing passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) projects in the three Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s (BOEM) planning areas in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) (Eastern, Central, and Western) were searched and compiled with online databases, literature, and Internet. The search focused on gathering a variety of literature types on biological and physical ambient noise levels in the GOM. The review also focused on PAM projects for marine mammals in the GOM and on anthropogenic sound sources in the region. The focus was on collecting information from the last 15 years of studies; some research in the GOM was included as far back as 1991.
