I've spent literally hundreds of hours follwing this Jackfish school around the reef at Sipadan. It's so mesmerising. Full Video is here - youtube.com/channel/UCdlUTVLxXi_Fq072j2GbAeA/

16,000+ whale calls mapped across Monterey Bay

This video is a visualization of a dataset of 16,000+ whale calls observed and mapped in Monterey Bay from October 28 to November 9, 2025. These 13 days are compressed here into about 4 minutes, including slow-downs during which you can hear the observed sounds from various species. This is an example of the use of a new tool; a Localizing Passive Acoustic Monitoring (L-PAM) system called SonarPoint. While underwater acoustic tracking has long been practiced on fixed, cabled tracking ranges operated by the U.S. Navy and others, SonarPoint is compact and wireless, consisting of a set of short (\~10m) seafloor mounted moorings that are recovered via an integrated acoustic release. In our most recent deployment called LMR 2, we deployed and calibrated/surveyed a seven-mooring system 25 miles from shore in water depth from 500m to 1450m over an 11 hour workday port-to-port. Recovery took about 9.5 hours. The maximum persistence of this system with continuous recording is about 14 months, supporting full year observation of cetaceans in remote locations. A system consisting of an inner array of five moorings surrounded by an outer array of six moorings will monitor an area of about 800 square km. This work is sponsored by the U.S. Navy NAVFAC Living Marine Resources (LMR) program under contract N39430-22-C-2428 and operations in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary were conducted under permit MBNMS-2024-033.

The ocean is full of creatures that disappear into their surroundings. I wanted this one to do the opposite.

Oceans: News, Information and Discussion about our Oceans

r/oceans

Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth and drive weather, regulate temperature, and support life on this planet. Our oceans are a vast system of diverse and complex ecosystems and natural resources; and the health of the world’s oceans is inextricably tied to the health of our planet. And amazingly, up to 95% of the ocean realm remains an unexplored mystery.
