(1/2) Today, Minister Fraser joined @CanadaOSC as it unveiled six new projects that will advance cleantech, AI, marine electrification, cybersecurity, aquaculture and sustainable vessel design.
Even the smallest sounds underwater can tell a big story, if your sensing setup is tuned to capture them.
A well-balanced hydrophone delivers cleaner signals, lower noise, and better interpretation.

Choosing the right hydrophone matters. π
Low freq = long range
High freq = detail
High sens = quiet sites
Low sens = noisy waters
Always match depth rating to your mission.
Make every sound count.
