Pod.Cast | Help listen for Orcas!

Team up with machine learning by listening and tagging Orca calls recorded from hydrophones deployed in the Salish Sea. Refine the machine-generated predictions by deleting, editing or drawing missed annotations. You can play each one individually, or the whole clip. When done, hit submit and start the next session.

To learn what typical Orca calls sound/look like, check out the Orcasound Call Catalog. Your annotations are helping improve an automated detection system for the Puget Sound, developed by the open-source Orcasound Project.
