A feature story in Bitterroot Magazine discusses noise over Whidbey and the Olympic Peninsula and – in case you missed it – SDA Executive Director Larry Morrell sat down with KPTZ to discuss this issue. 

Oceans Initiative, a non-profit marine research organization, is conducting underwater sound measurements to assess how much of the noise generated in the air transfers to the water – impacting marine life that depends on hearing to navigate, communicate and forage. If you live close enough to Ault Field runways to observe takeoffs and landings we can use your eyes and ears to augment noise monitoring being conducted by researchers.
