Whale Sound
PO Box 501
Alert Bay, BC
Canada, V0N 1A0

The BC Hydrophone Network is a collaboration of first nations, coastal communities and NGOs who work collectively to understand and protect the marine soundscape of British Columbia.  Whale Sound is its platform and outreach project.

Collectively we have over 20 hydrophones installed at key locations along the coast and are creating a massive library of acoustic data which is available for researchers seeking to understand habitat use and needs, to inform conservation policy, identify areas of acoustic concern, and monitor changes to the acoustic landscape in the wake of new shipping routes and increased vessel activity.

Photographs, videos, and audio sound tracks are the sole property of the contributing partners.
