Friends of Merrymeeting Bay’s (FOMB) third presentation of our 24th annual Winter Speaker Series, Sonic Sea - Voices of the Deep, features Chris Clark Sr. scientist and senior researcher in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University. This event, FOMB’s third ever virtual meeting presentation, will be held via Zoom and registration is accessible via hyperlink at the top of FOMB’s web page - www.fomb.org. The event takes place Wednesday March 10th at 7 pm beginning with an hour-long showing of the award winning film Sonic Sea, followed by a presentation from Dr. Clark, an expert in the field of undersea bioacoustics.
 
Far from quiet, the undersea world is awash in sound. Unfortunately, normal sounds whether species communication, geological or hydraulic in origin and necessity, have become increasingly drowned out by anthropogenic or man-made noise. Most, of this bioacoustic interference comes from three sources, shipping, military sonar activities and seismic exploration.
