On Sonorous SeasOn Sonorous Seas - The Marine SoundscapeIn this final episode, Mhairi talks with Dr Denise Risch from the Scottish Association for Marine Science. Denise is a marine mammal ecologist who studies underwater sounds and sonic marine enviroments to investigate how marine species use and are impacted by sound. During the conversation Denise plays a number of marine animal sounds and explains why sound is such an important sense, and vital for survival. Human sounds are also talked about, and how this anthropogenic noise is rapidly becoming a major threat to the ecology of our seas. 2022-09-3031 minOn Sonorous SeasOn Sonorous Seas - Na FuaimeanAm bi luchd-ealain ag èisteachd ann an dòigh eadar-dhealaichte o luchd-saidheans?

In fact, do we all listen differently from each other, and how does this affect our perception of the world and our shared understanding of it?
