Underwater Sound Repositories

In it's raw form, acoustic recordings can require lots of space and memory, making it difficult to maintain. As technology to process these vast stores of data continue to develop, it's vital that the original files are maintained and accessible. You can look through existing repositories of underwater sound to test your own detection algorithms, mine sounds, or simply explore.
