[Coral-List] Passive Acoustic Monitoring on coral reefs: a film and 2 papers

[simon ELISE]

Dear listers,
Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) is on the rise as an innovative monitoring tool with great potential for upscaling surveys both spatially and temporally.
We installed a continuous acoustic monitoring station on the remote coral reef of Europa Island. The installation and its potential applications to management are presented in this documentary:

This paper provides sampling guidelines for implementing PAM surveys on coral reefs:

This one explores the potential of ecoacoustic indices to monitor key coral reef ecosystem functions:

These findings could be particularly useful for managers.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
