For example, try sitting at the base of a tree with one knee bent. As an interesting alternative to photography, use a field tape recorder to preserve precious memories. When you listen to park soundscapes through a pair of headphones, the sounds are amplified and no longer subtle. Keep voices low and vehicle engines turned off in the parking lots so everyone can better hear and enjoy natural sounds. Be considerate of other park visitors when talking, starting vehicle engines, idling engines, or using audio devices.
Many people visit national parks to escape the sounds of modern civilization.
Remember that human-made sounds can disrupt wildlife behavior especially in biologically sensitive areas such as the Arsenicker Keys and the mainland mangrove shoreline north and south of the Visitor's Center. Choose transportation with the least impact on natural quiet.
