From January through March 2020, Jupiter Research Foundation will conduct a passive acoustic survey of the waters of Papahānaumokuākea using the autonomous wave glider “Europa.” The study aims to listen for whales in the monument, to better understand their presence and activity, particularly in locations understudied in the winter season.
