Sonic Sea(2016)

Sonic Sea is a documentary that exposes how industrial and military noise pollution devastates whale populations and marine ecosystems worldwide. The film follows marine biologists and acousticians as they investigate the hidden crisis beneath the ocean's surface—one where deafening sonar, shipping traffic, and seismic testing drown out the natural sounds whales depend on to navigate, communicate, and survive. Through compelling research and firsthand accounts, Sonic Sea reveals the physiological and behavioral toll this acoustic assault takes on some of Earth's most intelligent creatures. The documentary builds a sobering case for why protecting ocean soundscapes is as critical as protecting the animals themselves, offering both a wake-up call and a call to action for policymakers and citizens alike.
