| Abstract |
This chapter will introduce readers to the marine soundscape ecology through a cetacean study perspective. Unravelling the behavioral ecology of whales and dolphins in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean provides information about the marine habitat in which they live, in this case, the continental shelf. The study also describes methods for underwater mapping such as bioacoustics, photo-video recordings, GIS and behavioral observations. |
