Vaquita Expedition 2008 photos are presented in three slide shows and a photo gallery, including the best images of vaquitas ever obtained, images of the Upper Gulf of California, and people and research operations.
ACCOUSTIC RECORDINGS
Listen to vaquita sounds recorded on a CPOD on June 26, 2008, courtesy of Nick Tregenza. The clicks occur in clusters at a rate of 20 or more per second. The individual clicks are slowed down to be audible to the human ear, but the timing between clicks is approximately correct.
VIDEO
The objective of Vaquita Expedition 2008 is to develop acoustic monitoring methods for this critically endangered porpoise. In this video, watch Vaquita Expedition scientists deploy buoy #1 on with all three types of acoustic porpoise detectors (the A-tag, C-POD and T-POD) attached during a sunset launch.
