Congratulations!! That is a very important system to get going again for winter detections. Now it would be nice to get some going in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Does anyone know the status of the hydrophone at Sheringham?

The "A-Team" not only re-secured the intertidal protectors that were ripped out by the last big wind storm, but also pulled a LOT of old kelp-covered cables from the sea.  One of our best hydrophones was found to still be functional and after it's cable was repaired in two places, it was redeployed.
