+Passive Acoustics Module
+========================
+The acoustics module contains a set of functions to injest hydrophone *.wav* files.
+Only available in MHKiT-Python in v0.9 or later.
+
+API Documentation
+--------------------
+- `Python Acoustics API Documentation <mhkit-python/api.acoustics.html>`_
+- MATLAB support is planned in an upcoming release
+
+Examples
+--------------
+
+- `Passive Acoustics Example <acoustics_example.ipynb>`_
+
+The acoustics module contains the following submodules:
+
+* ``io``: Contains functions to read and output *.wav* files
+* ``analysis``: Contains functions to process, clean and analyze passive acoustics data
+* ``graphics``: Contains functions to plot spectral data
+
+See :ref:`MHKiT-Python <python>`  for more details on the acoustics module.

+Passive Acoustics Module
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The passive acoustics module contains a set of functions
+for analyzing and visualizing passive acoustic monitoring 
+data deployed in water bodies. This package reads in raw
+*.wav* files and conducts basic acoustics analysis and 
+visualization.
+
+To start using the module, import it directly from MHKiT:
+``from mhkit import acoustics``. The analysis functions
+are available directly from the main import, while the 
+I/O and graphics submodules are available from 
+``acoustics.io`` and  ``acoustics.graphics``, respectively.
+
+I/O submodule
+"""""""""""""
+There is one primary function of the I/O submodule that
+can be used to read in *.wav* files output by hydrophones,
+``acoustics.io.read_hydrophone``. There are a couple 
+manufacturer specific wrappers around this function, as 
+well as one to export audio back into a *.wav* file.

+    ~mhkit.acoustics.io.read_hydrophone
+    ~mhkit.acoustics.io.read_soundtrap
+    ~mhkit.acoustics.io.read_iclisten
+    ~mhkit.acoustics.io.export_audio
+
+
+Analysis submodule
+""""""""""""""""""
+Analysis functions are stored in the analysis submodule,
+accessed directly from ``mhkit.acoustics``. These functions
+are intended to be used on top of the I/O submodule, and
+include functionality to calibrate data, create spectral 
+densities, sound pressure levels, and time or band
+aggregate spectral data.

+
+
+Graphics submodule
+""""""""""""""""""
+The graphics submodule provides functions for plotting
+spectograms (frequency vs time) and spectra (psd vs frequency).
+These functions are fully configurable via matplotlib
+and can be pulled into existing plotting frameworks.
