Our Goals

We are working towards this goal by using cutting-edge technology to:

• Develop new systems to explore cetacean cognition and acoustic abilities, and create a language interface.
• Record cetacean sounds both above and below water in the broadest spectrum ever achieved.
• Analyze these cetacean sounds for harmonic patterns and communication value.
• Use these analyzed sounds to play specific musical phrases and tones underwater -- back to the cetaceans -- while recording their contemporaneous responses.
• Publish and share this research in scientific journals.
• Assist in establishing new standards in the scientific grade recording and processing of marine mammal acoustics.
• Play cooperative games with cetaceans in order to expand our understanding of interspecies alliances and non-verbal communication.
• Produce and distribute music created in partnership with these cetacean recordings for integration into human consciousness.
• Utilize dolphins to inspire humanity towards greater stewardship of our oceans.
