Voices from the field: SeaTech: Underserved Teens Hooked on Ocean Technology


Share this

Students in the Capistrano Valley area of California are learning to use technology to track and analyze the acoustic behaviors of whales and dolphins and conduct an acoustic population census in California, the Bering Sea and the Southern Ocean. In this clip, we join a group of middle school students from a Boys and Girls club program on a field trip where they record and analyze live dolphin sounds at sea using hydrophones.
