The Centro Interdisciplinare di Bioacustica e Ricerche Ambientali (Interdisciplinary Center for Bioacoustics and Environmental Research) was founded in 1988 and is endowed with a Laboratory of Marine Bioacoustics and Acoustical Oceanography since 1989. The activity focuses on research projects on the acoustic communication in animals, the development of equipment and protocols for the monitoring and censusing with passive acoustics, the development of advanced sound analysis methods based on the digital processing of signals, the establishment of a Digital Sound Library of Mediterranean Cetaceans as well as the technical support to other institutions involved in bioacoustic research and in the conservation of marine mammals.  Since 1998 CIBRA is involved in international research programs concerned with the design of mitigation protocols and tools to reduce the impact of anthropogenic noise on marine mammals and, more recently, on the preservation of terrestrial soundscapes. Since 2006 CIBRA manages the National Strandings Network Database on behalf of the Italian Ministry of the Environment.

Corso di bioacustica terrestre e marina

Nella sede del CIBRA viene tenuto il corso di "Bioacustica" (facoltativo, 6 cfu) per la Laurea Magistrale in Scienze della Natura e sono disponibili diversi temi per tesi di laurea magistrale e di dottorato. Sono disponibili anche tesi per la laurea triennale sia in Scienze della Natura che in Biologia.
