Due Diligence Environmental Effects Determination (DD EED) report physical activity : acoustic calibration barge - DUSN hydrophone array calibration / prepared by: Stephane Blouin, DRDC Atlantic.: D68-9/057-2020E-PDF

"As part of the Canadian Arctic Underwater Sentinel Experimentation (CAUSE) Project 99ab and the Force ASW (Anti-submarine Warfare) project 01ca, the acoustic calibration of the DUSN (Distributed Underwater Sensor Network) hydrophone arrays must be calibrated at DRDC's Acoustic Calibration Barge (ACB). A significant component of this trial involved the performance assessment of acoustic recording equipment, which required the use of acoustic projectors emitting underwater sounds. This report evaluates the environmental impact of transmitting such sounds on marine life, and in particular on marine mammals present in the area"--Abstract, page i.
