Researchers collecting under sea sounds - a podcast by RNZ

If you think Disney's The Little Mermaid accurately portrays what it sounds like under the sea you're in for a shock, but filmmakers did get one thing right, marine animals can have regional dialects.

Contributions will be entered in the Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds, or 'GLUBS'.
University of Auckland researcher Craig Radford spoke to Corin Dann.
