The WhaleSafe project aims at preserving both sperm whales and boats from unwished collision in Santuario Pelagos, close to Savona (Italy). The system is made of 2 mother buoys, each one connected with its daughter through a data cable. The mother buoys provide power from the Sun and wind to their daughters who have 4 hydrophones and an...

In WhaleSafe project the data collected from 2 couples of buoys with 4 hydrophones will be analysed to estimate TDOA in the signal emitted from sperm whales detected by the system. Results transmitted to a ground station will be used to extrapolate the point where the whales should emerge. A high sensitivity and specificity detector is...

The WhaleSafe project aim is to detect and track sperm whale to prevent collisions with boats and ships by issuing warning messages in real time to the involved actors. Two buoys with four hydrophones onboard will be installed in Savona area and the collected data will be used to extrapolate the point where the whale should emerge. It is...

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...
