Article Synopsis
- The artificial reefs in New York create essential habitats for various species, providing locations for spawning and foraging.
- Passive acoustic data tracked vocal activities of weakfish, Atlantic cod, and bottlenose dolphins from 2018 to 2022, revealing specific trends in their spawning behaviors and habitat use.
- This monitoring method offers valuable insights into species interactions and behaviors, aiding in the development of better conservation strategies for these marine environments.
Passive acoustic data collected during 2020 and 2021 were used to monitor changes in both terrestrial and underwater soundscapes, as well as human activity from aircraft and vessels. Passive acoustic data were collected at two artificial reefs south of Long Island, as well as along ocean beaches in Southampton, NY. At the artificial reefs, vessel noise was recorded more frequently during 2020 than in 2021.
