N1 - Funding Information: The Iceland and Cap Verde deployments were funded by the Danish Expedition Foundation, Villum Kann Rasmussen Fondation, Knud H⊘jgaards Fondation, and The University of Iceland Research Fund. Development of the EAR was supported in part by funding from the Coral Reef Conservation Program and with the collaboration of Rusty Brainard, Whitlow Au, Kevin Wong, Robert Herlien, and Ken Sexton. The pop-up discussion for deployment and recovery in shallow water off New Jersey was conducted as part of a 2-yr ecological baseline study into how marine mammals, sea turtles, and birds use the area in preparation for wind energy development and was funded by the state of New Jersey (NOAA permit # 10014). NERI T-POD studies were conducted from 2002 onward and in connection with environmental impact assessments financed by various sources, including the Danish Energy Authorities, the Forest and Nature Agency, DONG Energy, Vattenfall, E-ON, and A/S Great Belt Connection. C-POD studies by the FTZ are funded by the German Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (Fkz 0327689A). The DSG-related studies were funded by a National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) grant via NSF Award OCE-0741705 and was assisted by Chad Lembke, Gino Gonzalez, and Tony Tucker.

N2 - Deployment of any type of measuring device into the ocean, whether to shallow or deeper depths, is accompanied by the hope that this equipment and associated data will be recovered. The ocean is harsh on gear. Salt water corrodes. Currents, tides, surge, storms, and winds collaborate to increase the severity of the conditions that monitoring devices will endure. All ocean-related research has encountered the situations described in this paper. In collating the details of various deployment and recovery scenarios related to stationary passive acoustic monitoring use in the ocean, it is the intent of this paper to share trouble-shooting successes and failures to guide future work with this gear to monitor marine mammal, fish, and ambient (biologic and anthropogenic) sounds in the ocean-in both coastal and open waters.
