A marine seismic system includes a streamer cable which is towed by a vessel in a body of water. The streamer cable includes a plurality of hydrophones located at predetermined positions in the streamer cable which receives vibrations resulting from a seismic event occurring in the water, and provides signals corresponding to the received vibrations. The streamer cable also includes a plurality of receivers located at predetermined position in the streamer cable. Each receiver receives acoustical signals provided by acoustical sources and provide electrical signals corresponding to the received acoustical signals. A seismic event source provides a seismic event in the water. A plurality of acoustical sources cooperating with the seismic event source also provides encoded acoustical signals into the water when the seismic event source provides a seismic event. Seismic data processing apparatus processes the signals from the hydrophones and the receivers to provide seismic data of an earth formation below the water.
