Cetaceans & Sounds Over-WHALE-ming Noises

Whales have been travelling through the ocean for centuries and have always left humans in awe of their size, beauty and intelligence. Sounds are incredibly important to these animals - but human influences on the ocean have impacted how they use their sense of sound. Did you know that ship strikes are responsible for 20,000 whale deaths every year? That’s because noise pollution, generated by ships, is making whales travel blind.
Join Ocean Wise in exploring how these animals communicate and use sounds to explore the ocean and how human-caused noise can impact their health, wellbeing, and safety.
