A group of dedicated scientists, led by Dr. Glenn Parsons, is spearheading the development of GLUBS, a project aimed at creating a vast library of underwater biological sounds encompassing everything from fish and mammals to invertebrates. The initiative includes plans for a data repository of soundscape recordings, a community science platform for sharing underwater animal sounds, and an artificial intelligence-powered detection system capable of distinguishing between various calls within these recordings.

While researchers are amassing substantial amounts of data, much of it remains perplexing due to the sheer number of mystery sounds encountered in the field. The project aims to create a comprehensive library of underwater biological sounds, including those from fish, mammals, and invertebrates. This library will serve as a data repository, allowing for the sharing of soundscape recordings through a community science platform. Additionally, the initiative will develop an artificial intelligence-powered detection system to differentiate between various calls within the recordings.
