S13E1: Introducing Asia's Noisy Oceans - a podcast by Sustainable Asia

It turns out, sound is the dominant sense for animals underwater. For anything further than 10 meters away, marine life uses sound rather than sight to gather information. So human produced noise pollution - whether it's construction or shipping vessels - alters ocean animal's ability to communicate, mate and even survive. In this season, we first describe the beauty of undersea animal acoustics and then dive into the impact of noise pollution on marine life in China’s southern ocean.

Guests:

Timothy Gordon, University of Exeter

Sarah Yip, Eco Cheung Chau
