Moored acoustic recording instruments used in these studies include High-frequency Acoustic Recording Packages (HARPs), developed and deployed by Scripps Institution of Oceanography on behalf of NOAA SEFSC, and Soundtrap long-term recorders. These recording instruments continuously record sound across a range of frequencies for use in studies of vocally-active cetaceans, fish species, and anthropogenic sound sources, and for characterizing the Gulf of Mexico soundscape. Study design and goals varied among deployments; the focus of many deployments was to understand the spatiotemporal distribution of the endangered Rice's whale. Raw acoustic recordings may be in wav, xwav, or flac format, depending on recording instrument and sample rate. In addition to the raw acoustic recordings, there may be several associated files for these data, which include calibration files (transfer functions) and Long-Term Spectral Averages (LTSAs) for sound exploration and accessibility. Three readme files provide details on the acoustic recording's xwav format, LTSA format, and transfer function descriptions, when appropriate. All recordings are collected in UTC. The Gulf of Mexico oceanic waters are home to twenty cetacean species, including the endangered Rice's whale. These waters are also highly industrialized, with sound-producing human activities including shipping, oil and gas exploration and extraction, fishing, and military activities. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is responsible for studying the populations of whales and dolphins within the U.S. EEZ waters of the Southeast Region. A variety of information is needed in order to properly manage human effects on these populations and protect them from current or future depletion. Passive acoustics are useful for assessing temporal and spatial changes in the occurrence, density, and behavior of some animals, for augmenting visual surveys, and can provide important details regarding the acoustic environments that cetaceans live in. The purpose of these passive acoustic mooring deployments is to collect acoustic recordings to assess presence and distribution of marine mammals in the Gulf of Mexico and to assess variability in soundscapes and anthropogenic noise sources over space and time.
