Visual and acoustic contacts (1994 - 2001) are available on OBIS-SEAMAP, while acoustic recordings are stored in our Sound library and available upon request.

From 1996 on, tracks are finer. Data from acoustic contacts are registered in a separate dataset "<a href='http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/1114' target='_blank'>Acoustic detections from research cruises in the Med sea, 1994-2001</a>".
