My work focuses on the impacts of vessel noise relating to sound production and hearing in several Gulf of Mexico fish species. I will be using field recordings along with in-lab research to determine if spawning choruses are altered in two different sciaenids (Micropogonias undulatus and Bairdiella chrysoura) and Gulf Toadfish, Opsanus beta. I hope this work will help us understand how noise pollution is impacting aquatic organisms and lead to better management of coastal habitats.
