Using Sound to Connect People to Green Bay
On a sunny morning in mid-June, the Phoenix, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s research vessel, headed out onto the bay. Aboard were Sea Grant researchers Emily Tyner and Bill Sallak and a small mound of recording equipment. Tyner and Sallak’s project is associated with the development of a national estuarine research reserve on the bay. They planned to record natural noises from the bay, particularly bird sounds from the Cat Island Chain.
