Windmills on the sea. Ideal, right? No noise or ugly landmarks to annoy us, so we build more and more windmills on the sea, but how does this affect animals under water? A team of researchers looked at the effect of the noise of windmills on the North Sea. Do you want to know how we did this, what type of noise there is under the sea and how fishes can hear? Come and join us on 28 March.
The NWO-NWA funded project APELAFICO will present the latest results at a public event in Blijdorp Zoo. There will be three brief lectures for a general audience by Prof.dr. Hans Slabbekoorn, Prof. dr. Ionica Smeets, and Dr. Jeroen Hubert.
Programme
- 13.00h - Lunch buffet in the Haaienzaal
- 14:00h - Three lectures at the auditorium
- 15:30h - Acoustic tour with scientist guide through the Oceanium
- Closing drinks with all APELAFICO scientists and associated stakeholders and colleagues
