What does the underwater world of the North Sea sound like? The new audio exhibition explores this question. Visitors can experience sounds from the underwater world while seated in a sound chair. In addition to natural sea sounds, the noises of human activities, which are increasingly impacting marine life, are also audible. Harbor porpoises use sound waves for orientation, communication, and locating their prey. When noise levels in the sea rise, this vital ability is disrupted. Learn more about the life of the only whale native to the North Sea and the threat it faces from underwater noise. Harbor porpoise books, puzzles, and coloring pages are available for children.
