Cetaceans are a group of mammals that include whales, dolphins, and porpoises. The Cetacean Acoustic Trend Tracking (CATT) is a long-term acoustic monitoring project utilising Chelonia F-POD loggers and citizen scientist. The Looe MCG have teamed up with Research Development UK, alongside The Wildlife Trusts, other conservation organisations, and universities, and deployed an F-POD in the Looe Bay. This device forms part of a network spanning the Isles of Scilly to Sussex!
Join Meg and the Looe MCG to hear about this exciting project and how you can get involved.
