An autonomous system of remote audio and video surveillance of marine mammal activity has been designed and installed in the Far Eastern Marine Biosphere Nature Reserve (Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan) for monitoring the condition of the spotted seal (Phoca largha Pallas, 1811) population in the reproductive zone. This system makes it possible to collect information on animals without affecting their natural behavior.
