Sat. October 29, 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm This event has passed

Join us for this free, family-friendly talk, revealing the astonishingly rich acoustical ocean environment. Sound and vibration are essential for marine life communication, from whales to tiny barnacles. Besides the wonder of discovery, marine bio-acousticians are urgently calling public attention to increasingly devastating noise pollution from military, industrial, and recreational human intrusion. Michael Stocker, founding director of Ocean Conservation Research, is an internationally recognized expert on marine acoustics.
