Cetacean monitoring is carried out using the C-POD (most recent version of technology) and T-POD. PODs are fully automated, static, passive acoustic monitoring systems that detect porpoises, dolphins and other toothed whales by recognising the trains of echo-location clicks they make to detect their prey, orientate and interact. In this survey harbour porpoises and common dolphin were detected between the 21/5/2009 and 28/5/2011 by the University of Aberdeen. The data was supplied under contract to the Moray Offshore Renewables Limted (MORL) for the identification of spatial constraints and environmental impact for a proposed 1.4GW windfarm.

The work programme was developed in discussion with the developers and regulatory bodies, and has been conducted by the University of Aberdeen and SMRU Ltd at the University of St Andrews.
