Edmaktub ONG EDMAKTUB, estudio de cetáceos en el Mar Catalano-Balear

Web: www.edmaktub.org

Fundada en el año 2000 por el Dr. Eduard Degollada, la Asociación EDMAKTUB desarrolla sus actividades a través de distintos proyectos de investigación, ya sea mediante iniciativas propias o colaborando en estudios de otras instituciones. El interés siempre es profundizar en el conocimiento del mar y la fauna marina para preservar su riqueza y biodiversidad. La Asociación EDMAKTUB dispone para ello de una completa plataforma de investigación cuyo eje central es un catamarán equipado con multicóptero teledirigido (dron), hidrófono y diverso instrumental para la recogida de muestras, sonidos e imágenes.

How far can offshore operational noise travel underwater?

During the SACET Project in the Gulf of Guinea, we recorded underwater sound at increasing distances from an offshore drilling vessel.

At around 8.5 nautical miles (15.7 km), operational noise strongly dominated the underwater soundscape.

At 15 nautical miles (27.8 km), humpback whale vocalisations were recorded while offshore operational noise remained clearly audible.

At approximately 18 nautical miles (33 km), s***m whale clicks and other cetacean vocal activity were recorded together with persistent operational noise.

These recordings show that the acoustic footprint of offshore operations can extend far beyond the immediate working area, overlapping with the acoustic habitat used by whales and dolphins for communication, orientation and other vital behaviours.

Understanding the real spatial extent of underwater noise is essential for designing effective monitoring and mitigation measures.

🎧 Sound on — these are real underwater recordings collected during the SACET Project in the Gulf of Guinea.

During the Fin Whale Project, we had the opportunity to record striped dolphins in their habitat along the catalan coast. 🐬
Each sighting helps us better understand the rich marine biodiversity that shares these waters. Encounters like these highlight the importance of continued research and conservation efforts to protect the Mediterranean’s diverse marine ecosystems.

Every spring, from February to June, fin whales gather along the Catalan coast to feed in the Mediterranean’s nutrient-rich waters. The Fin Whale Project helps aims to better understand and protect these incredible giants and their vital feeding grounds.🐋

Fin whale breaching!
Breaching is relatively uncommon in fin whales, making observations like this especially noteworthy. This individual was recorded breaching six times in a row!
