The ocean is a deep, dark place where abundant life exists adapted to conditions hostile to the fragile human form. Beneath the waves, sound is the lifeline of marine organisms, enabling them to communicate, navigate, locate food, and survive in an environment where visibility is often limited.
For more than 250 years, the Natural History Museum in London has been collecting from Earth’s oceans, building a scientific resource of global importance.
