Sonic Sea is a 60-minute documentary about the devastating impact of industrial and military ocean noise on whales and other marine life. The film begins with a mystery: the unexplained stranding and mass mortality of several species of whales in the Bahamas in March 2000. As the mystery unfolds, the film explores the critical role of sound in the sea, and the sudden, dramatic changes human activity is inflicting on the ocean's delicate acoustic habitat -- changes that threaten the ability of whales and other marine animals to prosper, to function, and ultimately, to survive. Sonic Sea features several charismatic scientists, including Ken Balcomb, the former Navy pilot and acoustics expert who proved to the world that naval sonar is killing whales, as well as the musician and environmental activist, Sting, whose moving interview connects the sonic world of marine life with our sonic world on land. The film offers solutions (and, by extension, hope) for a quieter ocean, and underscores that the ocean's destiny is inextricably bound with our own

音速海(Sonic Sea)是一部60分钟的纪录片,讲述了工业和军事海洋噪声对鲸鱼和其他海洋生物的毁灭性影响。影片的开头是一个谜:2000年3月,在巴哈马发生了数种鲸类,原因不明的搁浅和大量死亡。随着这个谜的展开,影片探索了声音在海洋中的关键作用,以及人类活动的突然而剧烈的变化改变了海洋微妙的声学栖息地-这些变化威胁着鲸鱼和其他海洋动物的繁荣,运转和最终生存能力。 Sonic Sea拥有几位具有超凡魅力的科学家,包括前海军飞行员和声学专家Ken Balcomb(向世界证明了海军声纳正在杀死鲸鱼),以及音乐家和环保主义者Sting,其动人的采访将海洋的声波世界联系起来生活在陆地上的声波世界。这部电影提供了一个更安静的海洋的解决方案(并扩展了希望),并强调了海洋的命运与我们自己的命运密不可分
