Researchers from University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science and Cornell University collect and analyze about the signature sounds made by dolphins, porpoises, and the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale to learn more about where these animals live and when they travel through these offshore waters.

What’s happening on the CBL Research Pier? FlexEl, LLC’s Deploys Underwater Reserve Batteries
October 13, 2015
Operating sensors and detectors in strategic bay and coastal environments is critically important, but powering these devices can be difficult. Not only do batteries have to be able to survive in water, they have to be resistant to damage from wave action, aquatic life, and increased corrosion that can result from salty conditions. FlexEl, LLC has developed thin, flexible batteries that use this challenging environment to their advantage.
