DISKO Live

The Arctic has also become more accessible to human activities due to loss of sea-ice. One of these activities is increased shipping activity which is making the sea noisier. Since all marine mammals use sound for orientation, communication, and some for foraging, it is important to understand how rising background noise levels can disturb marine life.

DISKO Live! project, captures the Arctic underwater soundscape in Disko Bay, Greenland, providing insights into marine mammal behaviour, ambient noise levels and climate change effects. This collaborative project combines scientific research with public outreach.
