We are incredibly grateful to WILDLABS for selecting us for this award, which will help us conduct the "boring" but critical task of adding visualizations and metadata to make recordings more easily searchable on FishSounds.net! 🎵🐠❤️

We found that strategies for conserving at-risk fishes in Canada rarely consider acoustics. We propose that integrating fish sonifery and noise pollution into Canadian policies would improve species management and conservation efforts. Read more at doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...!

Browsing our #bioacoustics recordings just got easier! We've now embedded visualizations for the almost 1000 Macaulay Library recordings we link to on FishSounds. And we're hoping to improve the rest of our recording visualizations later this year!

Whales sing, orcas squeal, and sea turtles croak. But sharks are more the strong, silent type. Now, researchers report the first evidence that sharks make sounds, too.
