Seabed mooring deployments in the Tarium Niryutait Marine Protected Area, 2014-2022 : a metadata report / Kevin Scharffenberg, Dustin Whalen, Shannon MacPhee and Lisa Loseto. : Fs97-13/1393E-PDF

"Eastern Beaufort Sea beluga whales form one of the largest summering aggregations of the species in the Mackenzie Estuary. In 2010, the Tarium Niryutait Marine Protected Area (TN MPA) was designated to protect beluga whales and their habitats. As a part of ongoing ecological monitoring efforts in the TN MPA, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) was implemented in 2011 to act as continuous monitoring method, filling the temporal gaps associated with historical aerial sureys. Beginning in 2014, PAM effort increased each year, and oceanographic sensors were added to moorings to (1) better understand oceanographic conditions within the TN MPA and (2) examine the environmental parameters that drive beluga movement and habitat use patterns within the estuary. Several studies using this dataset have been completed, and others are ongoing. However, much more can be done with the acoustic and environmental data. The purpose of this report is to outline deployment methods and instrument settings for moorings deployed from 2014-2022 to support the full use of the data collected"--Abstract, page v.
