Our paper just published in @CurrentBiology with a great team incl @MDitmer @BarberLab @freaklabs authors.elsevier.com/a/1jFlE… Wildlife likely hear us more than they see us but how are they responding to the noise we generate while recreating?

DYK the Danish Straits have been listening for acoustically-tagged fish 🐟 since 2018!? All 3 straits detect movements of fish between the Baltic and North Seas as part of our #STRAITSproject. Salmon, trout, eel & more have so far been detected! 🙌🦈🐟 stay tuned for more 🤩
