The WhaleSafe project aims at preserving both sperm whales and boats from unwished collision in Santuario Pelagos, close to Savona (Italy). The system is made of 2 mother buoys, each one connected with its daughter through a data cable. The mother buoys provide power from the Sun and wind to their daughters who have 4 hydrophones and an acquisition system each, at about 80 m depth. The clicks emitted from the whales are analysed from a dedicated computer on any mother buoy and transmitted to a ground station for further analysis, through a wireless 3 g and 5 Ghz link.
WhaleSafe project: a technical description of the system.

Abstract
The WhaleSafe project aims at preserving both sperm whales and boats from unwished collision in Santuario Pelagos, close to Savona (Italy). The system is made of 2 mother buoys, each one connected with its daughter through a data cable. The mother buoys provide power from the Sun and wind to their daughters who have 4 hydrophones and an acquisition system each, at about 80 m depth. The clicks emitted from the whales are analysed from a dedicated computer on any mother buoy and transmitted to a ground station for further analysis, through a wireless 3 g and 5 Ghz link.
