CMRE scientists and engineers support the annual Student Autonomous Underwater Competi- tion ? Europe, where student teams build and operate unmanned underwater autonomous ve- hicle to complete a series of task in the CMRE basin in La Spezia harbor. (photo by Edward Lundquist) CMRE uses Þ xed sources, such as the ?deployable multistatic sonar? and oceanographic buoys, to study how sound spreads at sea. To better understand human-made underwater sounds and how they interact with marine life, CMRE and NRV Alliance conduct the Marine Mammal Risk Mitiga- tion Programme to help detect and study marine mammals. www.seadiscovery.com Marine Technology Reporter 43 MTR #9 (34-49).indd 43MTR #9 (34-49).indd 4312/3/2012 11:31:02 AM12/3/2012 11:31:02 AM
