In this study, we explored the options of deploying devices designed to log odontocete echolocation clicks (C-PODs) in a prospective tidal-stream energy site off the west of Scotland. Our design needed to be deployable from a chartered research yacht; the gear be light enough to be manually handled by two people with a small capstan and that the mooring maintain the submerged POD orientated vertically even in tidal streams. 1 by Jim Elliott ([email protected]) PRIMaRE Annual Conference Wednesday 6th April 2011
