Seymour Marine Discovery Center Studio: The 12-Kilometer Whisper: Protecting the Soundscapes of Monterey Bay
Marine scientist Caroline Casey explains how underwater noise from ships and industry disrupts communication among seals, whales, and dolphins. Sound travels vast distances in the ocean, but human noise shrinks this range, impacting survival. Using data and initiatives like Blue Whales Blue Skies, researchers work to reduce noise and protect marine ecosystems.
