In this report, we evaluate underwater sounds recorded at various locations around the GOM over a 14- year period (2010-2024), and spatio-temporally correlate these recordings with seismic airgun survey vessel activity using Global Positioning System (GPS) locations from the Automated Information System (AIS) and Protected Species Observation (PSO) reports recorded aboard seismic vessels.
Wiggins et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
