Noise Map – Galápagos
The first official acoustic monitoring tool for Santa Cruz and
Baltra, designed to evaluate how traffic and urban activity affect
biodiversity and quality of life.
Real-Time Panel
Our interactive panel shows live acoustic levels from each station. Data is updated continuously, allowing authorities and citizens to understand noise dynamics in Galápagos.
Transparent and accessible online.
Noise alerts when limits are exceeded.
Integration with OAG educational campaigns.
Ours
Ground Sound Stations
We are installing four terrestrial monitoring stations in
strategic points of Santa Cruz and Baltra:
Baltra Dock
Puerto Ayora Dock
Charles Darwin Avenue
Tortuga Bay
Our interactive panel shows live acoustic levels from each station. Data is updated continuously, allowing authorities and citizens to understand noise dynamics in Galápagos.

Marine Stations
We are seeking funding to deploy hydrophone buoys to monitor underwater noise. Benefits includ
Detecting ship collisions with marine species
Recording coral reef activity and ecosystem
changes.
Supporting global marine research.
Reports
All collected data is compiled into technical and educational reports, available for:
Researchers (scientific use).
Authorities
(policy & regulation).
Citizens
(public awareness).
