Ocean Acoustics | Ocean Literacy | FuseSchool

Sometimes the earth is so noisy... roads, aeroplanes, volcanoes, construction work... but have you ever thought about how noisy it must be underwater for the poor marine life that cannot escape? What if I told you that sounds underwater are even louder than they are above water? Particles in water are closer together than air particles. Not only is the noise irritating and unpleasant for marine life, a lot of animals use sounds and echolocation as their main form of communication. Sound travels over four times faster than in water, which means whales can potentially speak to each other anywhere on earth! How crazy is that! Humans have definitely contributed to ocean noise, and so what can we do to reduce some of it? Buy local produce, then there will be less shipping.

FuseSchool have partnered up with Incredible Oceans to help everyone become more ocean literate. The ocean is a fun place to visit, with amazing creatures, and are vital for all of us on Planet Earth.

SPECIAL THANKS TO: Ian Rowlands, Russell Arnott and Incredible Oceans for creating the script and video and the designers that made this video possible: Bing Rijper, Jean-Pierre Louw, Phoebe Hartigan, Peter Van De Heuvel, Waldi Apollis, Owain Oosthuizen & Cecil Bouwer.
