This Thursday December 2nd - A Family Friendly Ocean Voice!

 

Listening to fish: a virtually unexplored world 
of drumming, grunting, squeaks, squeals, and even farts!

Did you know that fish make sounds?  Scientist are learning more and more about the many ways that fish and other aquatic animals use sounds to communicate underwater.  Unfortunately we know very little about underwater communication and sounds completely unknown to science can routinely be recorded right here in the coastal waters of Massachusetts, in the deep canyons offshore and amazingly right off the docks in the heart of New York City; even in the local ponds, rivers and lakes of New England.  Come listen in on the fascinating underwater soundscape!
