Henry David Thoreau asked the question in an 1849 book. Actually, fish are more likely to hum and croak according to Dr. Carrie Wall, NOAA Fisheries Acoustic Archivist at the University of Colorado.

Carrie not only studies and collects the sounds of fish - she knows how to imitate them. In our version of NPR’s ‘Science Friday’ we learn about ocean acoustics, human caused ocean noise and how there are still some areas of ocean quiet. So enjoy our conversation with Dr. Wall.  

Rising Tide, the Ocean Podcast is co-hosted by Blue Frontier's David Helvarg and the Inland Ocean Coalition's Vicki Nichols-Goldstein. This podcast aims to give you information, inspiration and motivation (along with a few laughs) to help understand our ocean world and make it better. The ocean is rising, and so are we!
