Silent Oceans - Home W elcome to the Silent Oceans Project, a global program of ocean stewardship and education focusing on the issue of ocean noise pollution.
Marine mammals depend upon sound to communicate.
We humans are continuously increasing the noise we produce in the world's oceans and seas, slowly destroying the ability of marine mammals to communicate, echolocate for food, find their mates, and sing their songs. The concept of returning the sea, and thus ourselves, to an original state of being is at the very heart and soul of this project. The Silent Oceans Project is an international celebration of the oceans, uniting the people of the world in honoring the oceans' essential importance to life. It is a commitment to support existing efforts to understand, safeguard, and preserve marine biodiversity. The Silent Oceans Project is many things to many people.
