Whales: Singers of the Sea - Marine Life

Filed under: Marine Life — rod @ 7:36 pm

In submarines I preferred the back-watch (1am - 7am) particularly if dived in deeper waters. As an acoustics specialist with a good appreciation underwater sound interpretation I could easily identify most sounds produced by North Atlantic Ocean marine life with specific fondness to whales.

As both Humpback and Right Whales routinely populate Nova Scotian waters - I became accustom to hearing their songs whether close in or from hundreds of miles away.

While I don’t get much of a chance anymore to listen to any marine life in real life - WhaleSounds.com has numerous short recordings and a few 5-10 minute songs.
