Sound in the Ocean

Communication, soundscapes, and noise under the sea

The ocean is awash with a complex symphony of sound, where the clicks, grunts, and whistles of marine life compete with the rumbles, whirs, and thuds of natural and human activity. Join us to learn how biologists are working to decipher animal communication, and use sound to protect ocean life and even restore degraded habitats.
