23.01.2022 Here's edits from four long hydrophone recordings made on Lady Bay reef in late January 2021. This is a pristine coastal environment located about 5km south of my hometown of Normanville on the Fleurieu Peninsula. The recordings were made within an approximate 50m radius about 200m out from the shore. The tide was very low, so I was able to reach the furthest parts of the reef system to the south of Lady Bay. I feel that these are some of the most interesting hydrophone recor...dings I've ever made, since the four locations present strikingly different soundscapes, suggesting remarkable biodiversity within these areas. The four locations are as follows: All are stereo recordings made with Aquarian hydrophones. 1) immersed in dense forests of seaweed and seagrass. 2) a vast pool (~ 0.5m deep) filled with a variety of plants. 3) a tidal inlet at one of the furthest points of the reef. 4) a larger, deeper pool (~ 1m)seculded from the previous tidal inlet. I can't for certain identify certain sounds within these recordings, but some of the clicks, pulses and scrapes certainly point to fish, crabs and other species present in the reef. If you have any idea, please let me know! Longer versions of these recordings will appear on the Fleurieu & Kangaroo Island Sound Map in the near future. https://soundcloud.com//lady-bay-reef-four-locations-jan-2

14.01.2022 Of all the ocean stressors, noise pollution is the low hanging fruit. Reduce the noise, and marine life will be able to better withstand everything else. It’s... kind of like putting on a pair of noise-cancelling headphones on an airplane. You don’t realize how much the engine bothers you until it goes away. By cutting down anthropogenic sound, we can help marine life better resist the other pressures that humans place, but that are harder for us to tackle. See more
