Using Estuarine Soundscapes to Assess Habitat Health of NC Oyster Reefs
Presented by Olivia Caretti, North Carolina State University

Imagine diving head-first underwater in a North Carolina estuary…. You think it will be peaceful and quiet once you jump in but instead are greeted by a cacophony of fish and invertebrate songs. The Marine Ecology and Conservation Lab at NC State University is listening to these songs to help decipher who, when, and why species are using underwater habitats. Please join us to find out: what can we learn by eavesdropping on these choruses?
