About this sound

Bonaparte's gulls wheel above while harbor porpoise, sea lions, and marbled murrelets cruise by the rocky shore.

Why parks record sound

The NPS Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division monitors soundscapes in parks across the United States. Natural quiet is treated as a resource to protect, like clean air or dark skies: noise from aircraft, vehicles and machinery can mask animal communication and change the experience of a place.
