Listening to the Sea’s Secrets | Canada News

A groundbreaking sensor network deployed in the Lower St. Lawrence is revolutionizing marine monitoring by simultaneously tracking underwater earthquakes, whale songs, ship noise, and tides—all from a single device. Developed through university collaboration, this system detects twice as many quakes as the national network while capturing whale calls and vessel sounds, revealing how human noise disrupts marine communication. By analyzing frequency patterns over two years, scientists are building a detailed catalog of ocean sounds to better protect whale habitats, understand nutrient flows, and guide maritime traffic—offering a powerful new lens on the intersection of geology, ecology, and human activity in this vital Canadian waterway.
