The team initially assumed the device was part of a navigational marker, but later suspected it resembled a sonobuoy - an acoustic monitoring device, often used to detect submarines.

The automated, data-focused method also streamlines passive acoustic monitoring, offering a more dependable and accessible option than common techniques such as spoor surveys or camera trapping.

Yorke glides across the stage, doing that dance he does, moving from acoustic guitar to electric piano and back again.

The study, published in Royal Society Open Science, examined thousands of hours of passive acoustic recordings and uncovered 25 distinct underwater vocalizations.
