Dataset: Raw files from DSG hydrophone collected from the West Bay Marine Reserve in Pamlico Sound, NC during 2011 (Larval settlement soundscapes project)

This dataset contains passive acoustic recordings from a mid-latitude oyster reef in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, USA. Each file contains raw acoustic records collected using a DSG hydrophone recorder (Loggerhead Instruments) deployed near the center of West Bay Marine Reserve between June 2011 and July 2012. The hydrophone was configured to record 60 or 30 seconds of data every 15 or 30 minutes (depending on the deployment duration). The sample rate for each deployment was 50,000 Hz.
