Resources for passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) are continuously expanding and being developed, yet a major challenge for users is staying up-to-date and finding the best software or application for their acoustics investigation. We expand on previous efforts (Rhinehart & Nicholson, 2022; Felgate, 2023) with the aim of providing a current, comprehensive list of 1) underwater sound repositories of raw sound data without significant processing, 2) biological sound reference libraries, with species or taxa identification, and 3) sound processing tools for visualization, annotation, or analysis. This spreadsheet contains three pages, one dedicated to each of the aforementioned items, along with some descriptive information to help users identify the best resources for their needs. This work was done to support the Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds (GLUBS) project and funded in part by the Richard Lounsbery Foundation and from funding to SCOR WG #169 (GLUBS) provided by national committees of the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) and from a grant to SCOR from the US National Science Foundation (OCE--2140395), with support from the International Quiet Ocean Experiment.
