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..

Michael Stocker (center) with OCR team in Alaska Caroline Welcomes Michael Stocker, Marine bio-acoustician, writer, musician,  that we may invoke an Oceanic response to dissolve human hubris, in the salve of sanity…. To protect the Ocean – let's become more like the Ocean…. and weave dedication for collective well-being into… all of our thoughts, words, deeds… an acoustician by trade, and a musician by avocation. He has written and spoken about ocean bio-acoustics since 1992, presenting in regional, national and international hearings, television, radio, news publications, and in museums, schools and universities. His understanding of both physics and biology has proven invaluable in court testimony and legal briefs, defending the environment against the dangers of human generated noise in the sea.He is the founding director of Ocean Conservation Research (www.OCR.org ), a science and policy development NGO focused on the impacts of human generated noise on marine habitat. Over the past decade he has written a series of short newsletters on the field of marine bioacoustics, and environmental policy. Some 600 of these pieces can be found at www.Ocean-Noise.com.His book Hear Where We Are: Sound, ecology, and sense of place examines the phenomenology history, and natural history of sound perception of humans and other animals.   Support The Visionary Activist Show on Patreon for weekly Chart & Themes ($4/month) and more… *Woof*Woof*Wanna*Play?!?* The post The Visionary Activist Show – Micro-dosing vastness appeared first on KPFA.

University of Hawaiʻi receives its single largest gift — $50 million — to go towards climate and ocean research; a Big Island actor makes his Broadway debut, with only moments to prepare; it's National Hugging Day!

Did you know that excessive noise is a form of pollution? Exposure to intense and prolonged sound can cause high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep disturbances, and stress in humans and prevent wildlife from hearing their prey or predators, finding their way, or connecting with mates, group members, or their young. During this episode, Jenna is joined by Daniela Huson, Media and Marketing Director for Ocean Conservation Research to explore the wide world of sound and its impacts on the natural world.

We talk with acoustician Michael Stocker, Founder of Ocean Conservation Research, who explains what a misnomer, “The Silent World,” of Jacques Cousteau actually was. Michael shares sound samples of what a noisy world the ocean has become and the difference between human noise pollution and the lively chatter of a living sea. Here's a chance to dive into the ocean with your ears and mind. Rising Tide Podcast aims to give you information, inspiration, and motivation to tackle the challenges our oceans are facing. The oceans are rising, so are we! Learn more at bluefront.org

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

Michael Stocker (center) Caroline welcomes the return of Marine Acoustician, Michael Stocker (Scientist, Jazz Musician), with a bevy of wondrous Ocean recordings to guide us into intimacy with that which we must protect from the on-going war on life. The present dangers and ways we can participate in protecting the Ocean.

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.
