Ocean soundscape researchers hit SCOPE TV

Oceans aren't as silent as you think - it's a noisy place filled with snapping shrimp and crashing waves, as our researchers explain on the latest episode of SCOPE.

Marine animals use sound to navigate through the ocean. Larvae for example use the sounds of the sea to find their way back home. Professor Ivan Nagelkerken and Professor Sean Connell have been researching the effects of pollution on ocean soundscapes. Watch the latest episode of TV show SCOPE (from 16 mins) for some exciting interviews about their research!
