Working
The speaker is part of a relatively new system known as GenusWave Targeted Acoustic Startle Technology (TAST), designed to deter seals. For the past several years, the research nonprofit Oceans Initiative — under a contract with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) — has been researching the effectiveness of this technology at locations like the Ballard Locks in Seattle and Whatcom Creek in Bellingham, gauging whether the technology could be a useful tool for wildlife and fishery managers working to conserve threatened salmon runs in Puget Sound.
