The Open Ecoacoustics project aims to address Australia’s biodiversity crisis, which necessitates urgent action to deliver continental-scale monitoring and management of threatened species and ecosystems. The platform aids ecoacoustics monitoring of these environments and is open to everyone to aggregate and share data, analyses and tools. Our vision is to enable open science and conservation through the development and promotion of open access ecoacoustics technologies, methodologies and standards.

Open Ecoacoustics provides a dedicated ecoacoustics platform that is open to everyone, so that it can aggregate and share data, analyses and tools, and interoperate with downstream services. It 

• supports FAIR data by developing standardised metadata and third party analyses by moving to flexible workflow technologies (PBS, docker).
• accelerates data analysis by publishing a shared repository of annotated datasets and recognisers.
• interfaces to other systems, including TERN, ALA, EcoCommons and citizen science sites, through services and shared tools.

The project is supported by a collection of ecologists, computer scientists, and environmental managers. The community extends to universities, museums, government agencies, and non-government organisations.
