Biodiversité

Le parc naturel marin d'Iroise accueille de nombreuses espèces de cétacés: dauphins communs, marsouins communs, rorquals communs, dauphins de Risso, globicéphales noirs, le parc et l'ENSTA Bretagne mettent en place un protocole d'écoute passive pour mieux connaitre toutes ces espèces sans les déranger.

The use of passive using acoustic monitoring is a rapidly growing field in terrestrial ecology, particularly in ornithology. Much recent work has focused on using recording technologies for large-scale occupancy monitoring, while local scale studies have focused on acoustic localization for density estimation. Density estimation offers numerous advantages for answering key conservation questions but may seem impractical to employ at national or continental scales using current acoustic localization techniques.
