Voices in the Sea Workshop
Marine mammals rely on sound for communication, foraging, navigation, and predator avoidance. The NMMF explores the sounds these animals make, the sounds they hear, and the effects of human-made noise on their behavior and physiology.
The NMMF has developed advanced instrumentation to test the hearing of wild marine mammals and determine safe sound exposure levels. This workshop introduces students to the innovative methods used by NMMF scientists and includes interactive activities that demonstrate the science of sound.
