The ARION project aim is to protect dolphins and boats, while preserving human activities, mainly preventing collisions. To achieve this goal it is necessary to track both and to signal the presence of the dolphins to possibly any subject operating in the protected area. Two buoys with four hydrophones each, installed in Santa...

Portofino MPA (Italy), instituted in 1999, is a SPAMI site since 2005. It is also a zone with a considerable population of bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), one of the Mediterranean cetaceans listed as "vulnerable" in IUCN Red List, which is an important fraction of the north-Western Mediterranean population. The MPA is also a zone with...

The ARION main objective is the creation of a virtual corridor for monitoring and surveillance of transient and resident bottlenose dolphins ({Tursiops truncatus). We deployed in the Portofino MPA two detection units, based on a particular type of marine buoy (elastic beacon) each equipped with four hydrophones and an acquisition system which...
