SORFED stations use an underwater hydrophone to listen to the sound in the water produced by natural (e.g., rain, wind) and manmade (e.g., boats) processes. It also uses a web camera placed several feet above the water to allow the user to look for interesting activities that may have underwater noise associated with them.
