Dissolving the hubris of humans into nutrient for participatory animism….To dispel bad ideas disguised  as “energy transition,” Caroline welcomes, long-time-ally, marine acoustician, Michael Stocker…(who is as though the Ocean adopted a human guise to be its voice…) What is the  Ocean saying say to us now?! Michael has served as the electronic and musical engineer on the benchmark film “Koyaanisqatsi,” and as a project development engineer for Pax Scientific, working in applied physics and acoustics – exploring how the principles of bio-mimicry can be used in fluid and air movement systems. As founding director of Ocean Conservation Research he is using his fluency in bio-acoustics to explore the impacts of noise on ocean animals to inform ocean policy and practice toward decreasing human bio-acoustic impacts on marine habitats..

Comment faire face au retour du loup ? Cette question, plusieurs pays européens se la posent, alors que la Commission européenne a annoncé en septembre dernier une possible révision du statut de protection de l'animal. Le débat est vif en Autriche, où plusieurs régions ont adopté, ces derniers mois, des autorisations d'abattage rapide, qui ne font pas l'unanimité. De notre correspondante à Vienne,Michael Stocker est agriculteur dans la région de Carinthie, au sud de l'Autriche. Il exploite une ferme de montagne traditionnelle, située à 1 200 mètres d'altitude, qui appartient à sa famille depuis plus de deux siècles. Ses animaux, environ 100 moutons et presque autant de bovins, passent l'été à l'alpage. Michael Stocker ne les pensait pas menacés par le loup jusqu'à ce jour de 2014, dont il se souvient parfaitement.« Nous avons une exploitation extérieure, où les animaux sont habitués à paître, c'est là que le loup a frappé. Il était caché à l'intérieur de l'étable, là où tout le monde disait que c'était impossible, et a mordu à mort 18 moutons en l'espace de deux jours et demi », raconte Michael Stocker. « Ce loup a ensuite été abattu chez nous. Quand on voit les dégâts que ces animaux peuvent causer et en très peu de temps, on se dit qu'avec eux, il n'y aura plus d'agriculture, plus d'espace rural, plus d'économie alpestre. Les éleveurs des alpages, de moutons, de bovins, tous ont cela en tête, ancré profondément. »À écouter aussiLe loup, le meilleur ennemi de l'hommeUn abattage qui divisePour faire face à la présence du loup, la plupart des régions autrichiennes, dont la Carinthie, ont adopté ces derniers mois des autorisations d'abattage rapide. Ce que critique Christian Pichler de l'ONG WWF. Selon lui, d'autres mesures pourraient être mises en œuvre afin d'éviter que l'abattage ne devienne systématique.« Cela ne sert à rien de tuer un loup qui n'a encore jamais tué de mouton », indique Christian Pichler. « Il nous faut plutôt reconnaître qu'à l'avenir, les moutons devront être protégés dans les alpages par un berger et des chiens de protection durant la journée et gardés, la nuit, dans un enclos, derrière des clôtures électriques. C'est ce qui se passe dans de nombreux pays d'Europe et cela devrait également être mis en œuvre en Autriche, ce qui n'est pas le cas. »À lire aussiLa Commission européenne lance une consultation sur la protection des loupsPerte de temps et perte d'argent pour certains agriculteursMais pour Martin Längauer, de la Chambre d'agriculture autrichienne, beaucoup d'agriculteurs ne peuvent se permettre de mettre en place ces mesures, en raison des coûts, mais aussi du temps qu'elles impliquent.« Il est important de savoir qu'un grand nombre d'exploitations en Autriche sont gérées à titre d'activité secondaire, c'est-à-dire que les exploitants agricoles ont un autre métier et que leur temps est donc très limité. Cela signifie que toute charge de travail supplémentaire, comme la protection des troupeaux, les clôtures, etc, peut conduire à l'abandon de l'exploitation. »L'année dernière, 80 loups ont été officiellement recensés en Autriche. Ce nombre devrait être similaire pour l'année 2023, selon plusieurs estimations.

How does human-generated noise impact the marine life in our oceans? We interview Michael Stocker, the founder and director of Ocean Conservation Research in California. He shares the history of his organization, how they measure ocean noise, how sea animals communicate, and how his organization works proactively to protect whales from needless trauma.

Sharon Weil talks with Michael Stocker, bio-acoustician, naturalist, and musician, about water, oceans, natural sound, and human-generated noise pollution in the ocean. His organization, Ocean Conservation Research, studies the impact and finds solutions to its detrimental effect on marine life. Did you know that dolphins call each other by name? Sound and sound perception are ways in which we locate ourselves in place, and underwater noise pollution is creating stress and dislocation in whales and dolphins. Michael is a fascinating and passionate advocate for natural sound, and all the beautiful creatures and environments that produce it.

With a childhood fascination for aquariums and a passion for music, it’s little wonder that Ocean Conservation Research founder Michael Stock-er has made championing the sounds of our oceans his life’s work.In this episode of MHP, this humble jazz fan shares some of those childhood memories. He talks about why he set up OCR, using Kurtosis as a measuring tool, his role as a translator- and why 911 impacted our oceans. Michael also shares some of his favourite sounds and reveals the one sound he wants us all to hear.Michael Stock-er is a naturalist, acoustician, musician and the founding director of Ocean Conservation Research is a not for profit centre made up of scientists, engineers and ocean advocates dedicated to improving the environmental health of our oceans. With a focus on marine-bioacoustics, Michael has published and presented numerous research papers and articles to governments and organizations around the world and is the author of the fascinating book: Hear Where We Are : Sound, Ecology, and Sense of Place (Springer 2013)You can find out more about Michael and OCR on the great resource website www.ocr.orgAnd hear from more great people at www.myhomeplanet.org and www.twig.fm

Today we'll be speaking with a musician and audio engineer turned founder/director non-profit that's changing the way the world thinks about sound. From mixing films like the classic "Koyaanisqatsi" to helping create ISO standards on underwater metrics to speaking at environmental and scientific conferences all over the world and helping shift military and government policy, Michael Stocker is all about making change doable. Against the odds, his work with Ocean Conservation Research has lead to real changes in the way the decisions are made about noise in our oceans. Here he reveals how that's happened, and what else has changed in the last 25 years.

Perhaps we should call it Watershed Earth. We're made of water, totally dependent on it, yet water in turn depends on us to play our part in a good way. Mother Ocean is the primary regulator of Watershed Earth. But the marine news is heartbreaking. Ocean defenders Michael Stocker, Anne Rowley and David Helvarg illuminate both the peril of noise and plastics pollution and the promise they see In the Seaweed Rebelli on to save Mother Ocean, and ourselves.

They did "a lot of moving around," remarks Michael Stocker, MD, of his family's history. From Montana, on to Illinois, to Washington state, to Notre Dame to the Medical College of Wisconsin, and beyond. Dr. Stocker has had an impressive career in health.
