The Marine Mammal Expert Network is building on the work done for the Arctic Biodiversity Assessment and the key findings and advice from the State of the Arctic’s Marine Biodiversity Report (SAMBR) and providing data to the Arctic Biodiversity Data Service (ABDS) and developing an interactive map of Passive Acoustic Monitoring sites, including metadata on who owns the instruments, deployment period, recording settings: Pan-Arctic Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM).
