The International Quiet Ocean Experiment has compiled a list of papers on the "Anthropause" — a period of lower ocean sound in 2020 due to reduced shipping & maritime activity. 🌊🔉 See all papers on the effects of the COVID-19 on ocean sound at iqoe.org/covid-pause-pa….

It’s time to play a game! During the month of March, we’ll be sharing some of the sounds marine mammals make–and inviting you to guess which #marinemammal it is. Round 1 starts now—let us know if you guessed correctly in the comments ⬇️ #MMPA50

It’s time for the next edition of “Name That Sound!” where you watch and listen to the video and try to guess which marine mammal makes the sounds you hear. Today's marine mammal is one of the most melodious…can you guess correctly? #MMPA50

This is our final edition of “Name That Sound!” Let us know in the comments if you guessed correctly. Each of the species featured this month in “Name That Sound” are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. #MMPA50
