NOAA Cetacean and Sound Mapping Project: This site documents the work of a project of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminnstration to evaluate the impacts of human-generated noise on cetaceans. Two subgroups–one to map ocean soundscapes and the other to map the density and distribution of cetaceans–were set up to conduct the project.
