You-Oceans WebApp

All permanent and temporary hydrophone deployments monitored by YOU-OCEANS are marked on the map. Click on these markers to access detailed information about each location, including real-time data, historical trends, and specific marine mammal detections.

• Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Call Counts: View quick statistics on the main map for call counts, noise pollution levels, and ship detections.

• Recent Activity Highlights: The map showcases hotspots for recent whale activity and significant noise events.

Clicking on a hydrophone location marker on the world wide map brings up site-specific information, including:

• Weekly and monthly detections for all detected species at that location.

• Number of ship detections.

• Historical data and trends.

• Background information on marine behavior in the region.

• Users can view an aggregate graph showing the relative abundance of each species detected over a chosen time frame.

Clicking on a specific marine mammal species from the list on the world wide map provides a detailed page with:​

• Behavioral Analysis: Includes graphs comparing day and night activity and detection patterns, which can be analyzed over different time frames (daily, weekly, monthly) and compared year-to-year.

• Migration Pattern Tracking: Visualize the migration patterns of the species across different locations, providing insights into their movements and behaviors.

• Users can set up custom alerts for specific species detections or when detections cross certain thresholds. To receive notifications and contribute to data labeling, users must create an account. Notifications can be configured to be sent via email or SMS.

• Users can upload their own hydrophone data in WAV or FLAC format. The app processes these files using the same algorithms as real-time data, integrating the results into the main database. This feature supports the inclusion of data from temporary hydrophone deployments.

• Contribute to the community by labeling acoustic data. Users can visually review spectrograms and annotate marine mammal sound signatures not detected by algorithms. Labeled data helps improve detection algorithms over time. To participate, users must create an account and complete a short tutorial to learn how to properly identify and label different marine mammal calls. 

• Location Comparison: Compare data from different hydrophone locations side by side, allowing for in-depth analysis of regional differences and similarities in marine mammal activity and noise pollution.

• Species Comparison: Compare behavioral data and detection patterns across different marine mammal species to identify correlations or differences.

A personalized dashboard for each user, displaying their saved locations, custom alerts, and recent activities. Users can manage their preferences and view a summary of their contributions.

Download raw or processed data for offline analysis. This feature supports multiple formats, including CSV and JSON, to facilitate further research and reporting.
