Data
Links to Beam Reach science narratives, logs, and raw data. Not all raw data files are available on line; please contact us with requests to upload audio files of interest you find in the narratives or logs. You may find valuable context (e.g. photos, audio) in the associated science blogbook posts, though the text is the same as the narrative entries.

Projects and processing
Useful tools for processing:
On-going group research projects:
- localization tests
- Vocalization attributable to individual whales
- Echosounder surveys of salmon, other fish, and plankton
- Ling cod acoustic tagging
- Automated photo identification
- Puget Soundscape
- Salish Sea hydrophone network (Collaboration with the Whale Museum and others)
- Fish and invertebrate sounds of the Pacific Northwest
Space for individual research projects (e.g. externships)

Sustainability
Issues of interest
Pile driving noise and mitigation
Oil spill and ship collision prevention
Rational design of marine protected areas in the San Juan Archipelago
Salmon conservation and dam removal
Salmon - killer whale connections
We're part of the solution
Service projects
- Cleaning and improving The Whale Museum's acoustic "observatory" in the lighthouse at Lime Kiln State Park (photo gallery)
- Restoring wetlands with the San Juan County Land Bank (Facebook photos: 1, 2
- Helping grow our food on Lacrover and Sweet Earth organic farms
- Educating boaters about whale watching with Sound Watch
- Assisting with educational outreach and school programs of The Whale Museum (blog post)
