Making Waves: Tuning our ears to the ocean
The ocean is brimming with sounds, from the crackle of snapping shrimp to the deep bellows of humpback whales.
Amelia Macapia, a WHOI guest investigator and a contributor for Oceanus Magazine, explains how studying acoustic ecology led her to fall into a deep love with the sea.
She tells her story in front of a live audience in Woods Hole for "Making Waves: A Science Story Slam," the culmination of a first-of-its-kind science storytelling workshop hosted by the Transom Story Lab and Atlantic Public Media in June 2025.
