Dr. Lindy discussed how whales and dolphins are sensitive to underwater noise pollution, what the main sources of this pollution are, and possible solutions, including what kids can do to help. She showed a few slides from her year-long research trip across the Pacific Ocean, studying sperm whale sounds, with her then 5 yr. old and 10-mo. old. (CW: graphic photo from 7:15-7:26.)
