Coastal Marsh Acoustic Monitoring Analysis
@kellyfaller

I’m developing an open-source acoustic monitoring project to help detect and protect rare and endangered species. Using sound recordings from natural habitats, I’m creating tools and workflows that allow researchers, conservationists, and citizen scientists to track biodiversity through audio data.

All the code, data workflows, and documentation will be open-source, ensuring anyone can use, adapt, and improve them. By sharing these resources freely, this project aims to support global efforts to conserve vulnerable species and ecosystems.

Why Support This Project on Liberapay? Your ongoing support will:

• Fund essential fieldwork and equipment to capture high-quality audio data in the wild.

• Enable me to spend dedicated time developing and maintaining open-source code and documentation.

• Help me cover data hosting and computing resources for large-scale audio processing.

• Support community-building activities to connect conservation groups and researchers worldwide.

With your help, we can make sure these tools remain free and accessible to everyone working to protect our planet’s biodiversity.
