Tidal flow masks acoustic detections of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena): Implications for passive acoustic studies of cetaceans.

Passive acoustics is widely used to detect vocalising cetaceans, yet in tidal environments, strong currents facilitate sediment transport, creating "flow noise" that may mask signals and bias detection ranges. Although detection ranges are known to v…
