Mount Desert Rock Buoy


Study objectives

A DMON buoy was deployed near Mount Desert Rock off the coast of Maine to test a new "deep water" mooring design that should make the mooring much quieter for passive acoustic monitoring.

Principal Investigators: Mark Baumgartner (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
