Abstract

Sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus, Linnaeus 1758) is an endangered cetacean species, particularly sensitive to noise pollution and highly vulnerable to ship strikes. In the framework of the Life+ Nature WHALESAFE it was realized an interference avoidance system capable to detect and track sperm whale, to identify the threats and to prevent collisions and other risks by issuing warning messages in real time to ships. The permanent acoustic station is able to detect sperm whale in a range of about 7 km.
