Can low-cost, DIY hydrophones identify orca matrilines in real-time?

Thanks, Liz! We're excited to refine the open Southern Resident Killer Whale machine learning models a bit more through this project. With luck there will be knock-on benefits for other hydrophones in SRKW habitat (e.g. the OOI nodes in Oregon) and other ML pipelines.

What a fabulous application of acoustics and with low-cost recorders no less. Wishing you luck in this project!

Thanks for for backing us up! Yes, it would be great to get some tropical real-time listening going, though the snapping shrimp will provide some new challenges, I bet!

Glad to see that that you guys are still hard at work... pushing back the frontiers of science! Maybe I could deploy some of these affordable hydrophones down here in the Keys!

Excited to follow your work! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to contribute in a tiny way. :)
