Listening guidance
To listen to these links, you must be able to receive ShoutCast streams. iTunes
will do the job (on Mac or Windows computers) for free, though you may need to copy the link and paste it in
"Open Audio Stream" under the "Advanced" menu. Another Windows solution is the free
player from Winamp.
You can also try to record the streams when you hear something that interests you. We recommend Stream Ripper (free, open source, all platforms). If you'd like to explore underwater listening even further (including sound analysis and contributions to citizen science projects), then consider taking on a Beam Reach externship in bioacoustics.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you'd like to make your recording available to the listening community by having us publish it on this web site. In any case, please abide by the Creative Commons license
