In this episode, we visit the Great Barrier Reef to discover the clamorous underwater world of marine life sounds. What can we learn from listening closely to the underwater soundscape? And are there ways we can use sounds to help, rather than harm, the animals in our ocean ecosystems?  

Guests:

Timothy Gordon, University of Exeter

Visit China Dialogue Ocean to learn more about our oceans in crisis.
