Underwater sounds provide valuable information to marine life regarding location, where to find prey, and communication and socializing. Scientists have learned that whale vocalizations can travel more than 1,000 miles underwater. They are now testing what effect man-made noises in the ocean have on whales. This program explores how sound travels underwater and the latest research findings on whale vocalizations and what they tell us about whale behaviour.
