It's a relatively recent discovery that turtles use #acoustic #communication, I remember covering it in this feature on #soundscapeEcology and #evolution: https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2022/12/soundscape-evolution.html

A hearing test for the world’s rarest sea turtle

In JASA, researchers evaluate the hearing sensitivity of a group of Kemp’s ridley turtles to understand their vulnerability to human-caused noise. To evaluate their hearing range, the researchers placed noninvasive sensors on the turtles’ heads and measured the electrical signals transmitted along their auditory nerves. They played sounds ranging 50-1,600 hertz and found that the turtles could hear best at around 300 hertz. Their hearing started to decline at higher frequencies.

Green Sea Turtle, Guam 🐢

Oh I miss swimming with these guys! Large, graceful and surprisingly fast! The patterns on their shells and skin are so intricate!

Beneath The Sea, Big Apple Divers and NYUPS

https://youtu.be/VA5YYJKQ4cw

Beneath the Sea is the premier international dive, travel and oceans exposition in the US. It’s held annually at the Meadowlands Expo Center just outside of NYC. BTS overall mission is to provide continuing education to the recreational diver community. It aims to educate the public in the benefits of protecting the ocean environment. BTS also supports ocean and environment-related projects and charities.

Exhibitors from around the world come BTS to promote dive products and scuba diving destinations. Also, a few local dive clubs have booths at BTS to promote regional diving and support the overall dive community. The Big Apple Divers obtained a booth with a video monitor this year. They asked members to submit their work for display during the consumer trade show (March 29-31, 2019). I presented these three underwater videos.

I shot this young sea turtle while I was shore diving near the Salt Pier in Bonaire. Accommodations, truck rental, and tanks were supplied by Captain Don’s Habitat.

Sketch from January's Monthly Sketch from Cerv, in which Will in Seal Taur Form (Something I've growing to love) is teaching Ren a little about the ocean. Ren in the Sea Turtle form he's found himself in (Artist's Choice XD), doesn't seem to amused.
