The proceedings of the workshop on Static Acoustic Monitoring (SAM) of cetaceans, held at the 20th Annual Conference of the European Cetacean Society in Gdynia, Poland, 2nd - 7th April 2006, is now available on the following website: http://www.seaturtle.org/mtrg/personnel/SAM_report.shtml The workshop was held to address issues relating to SAM for dolphins and porpoises. SAM of odontocetes has been developing steadily and has been used successfully to study environmental impacts of noise producing processes, cetacean habitat use, diel patterns of activity, fishery interactions and behaviour. Whilst the scope of the workshop was SAM in general, many of the studies discussed had used the T-POD device and consequently much of the discussion centered on issues specific to this device.
