[CaptButler]

This thread is not exactly the place for such debate but you seem to think that this is your entitlement.  Maybe go and try on another thread, leave Resurgence alone in future and let him get on with what he's doing as clearly your input into the discussion is not one of the pleasant variety, more just the anti russian mafia from which you broadcast such spiel in relation to the other 'friend' as mentioned previously...

Yet another strawman argument.  The Russian mafia?  What the hell is that got to do with anything?

Bioacoustics

Bioacoustics is the study of sounds produced by and affecting living organisms, especially those sounds involved in communication. Remote acoustic recording technology is used to study the behavior, distribution, and abundance of wildlife. These sounds illustrate the breadth and potential of this powerful conservation technology.



Hippos, Manatees, and How the Sounds of African Wildlife Aid Their Conservation

Published: February 23, 2022

A new study reveals that bioacoustics is an underutilized wildlife study tool on one of the world's most biodiverse continents: Africa.

On this episode of the Mongabay podcast, two new bioacoustics studies of hippos and African manatees are highlighted with the recordings of their squeals, squeaks and 'wheeze honks' which can now aid their conservation.

Dr. Nicolas Mathevon joins the show to share the results of a study which showed that vocal recognition is used by hippos. Also on the show is Clinton Factheu, a PhD student in Cameroon who recently co-authored a study revealing the first recorded African manatee vocalizations.

New Whale Calls and Dolphin Behaviors Discovered with Bioacoustics

Published: June 15, 2022

Mongabay host Mike Gaworecki dives into new discoveries from the exciting field of marine bioacoustics research that are helping us better understand the lives of whales and dolphins.

His first guest is Erin Ross-Marsh, the lead researcher on a study of humpback whales at the Vema Seamount in the South Atlantic off the coast of South Africa. Ross-Marsh tells us about the study’s finding that these humpbacks were making gunshot calls, a type of non-song call that was previously unknown in these particular whales, and plays some humpback songs, non-song calls, and gunshot calls for us to listen to.

He also speaks with Sarah Trabue, a research assistant with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) who is the lead author of a recently published paper detailing the findings of a bioacoustic study of bottlenose dolphins in and around New York Harbor.

Trabue discusses what the study reveals about dolphin behavior in the highly trafficked waters around New York City and plays for us some of the dolphin vocalizations recorded as part of the study.

Documentary



Profit, Pollution and Deception: USA's Largest Oil Spill (2011)



After the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in 2010, crude oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico. BP scrambled to control the situation. While divers poured cement into the well to staunch the flow of oil, BP and the US Coast Guard closed ranks on the press. Information flow was highly restricted, and eyewitnesses were gagged. Independent reporters were banned from the site. Three months later, the leak was stopped. BP fell silent, and all seemed back to normal.

In this explosive documentary, oil industry insiders, fishermen, lawyers, and marine toxicologists shed a different light upon the backlash. The cheap, toxic clean-up methods chosen by BP are exposed as well as the growing difficulties of the oil industry, which is caught between needing more oil to meet rising demand, and the urge to cut corners to maximize profits.

So what really happened in the Gulf of Mexico?

It’s a story about the power play between nature, oil and the greed of international corporations.
