Dear Friends,
The inaugural Artist-in-Residence program at Canaveral National Seashore’s Soundscape Field Station is set to begin on November 9th with Wild Sanctuary artists Dr. Bernie Krause and Jack Hines.
The partnership between Canaveral National Seashore, Atlantic Center for the Arts and Friends of Canaveral was launched years before and cemented in our connection to artist Doris (Doc) Leeper. Please join us as we plunge into the world of natural sounds of the seashore and learn the benefits of being in nature for our mental and physical well-being.
See all of the activities that will be taking place in and around the seashore to celebrate this wonderful new collaboration.
Please also spread the word about the annual Run with the Rangers with Burns Sci-Tech on Nov. 16. If you are a runner or walker this is a fun run through historic Oak Hill and Seminole Rest and proceeds go to help Burns School with their Physical Fitness program.
Thank you to all of the Friends and Volunteers-In-Parks for all you do.
See you at the beach!
Laura Henning

Bernie Krause has been recording wildlife sounds, or "soundscapes," for over forty years. He's amassed the largest archive in the world, and in doing so, can chart how wildlife sounds have changed over the course of climate change. Listen for yourself: the rising silence speaks volumes.

ShORE SYMPOSIUM
November 15, 2019
News-Journal Center
221 N. Beach St.
Daytona Beach, Florida

The Friends of Canaveral are proud sponsors of the ShORE Symposium.
Keynote Speaker - Dr. Bernie Krause
Bernie Krause has been recording wild soundscapes -- the wind in the trees, the chirping of birds, the subtle sounds of insect larvae -- for 45 years. In that time, he has seen many environments radically altered by humans, sometimes even by practices thought to be environmentally safe. A surprising look at what we can learn through nature's symphonies, from the grunting of a sea anemone to the sad calls of a beaver in mourning.

DID YOU KNOW?
It's just noise ... right?
|
|
In a nutshell, any sound that disturbs your peace is noise, regardless of whether or not you are used to it – But have we ever stopped to think about noise pollution effects on
humans?
Besides jeopardising your peace, does noise pollution affect you in other ways? According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, noises that exceed 80 decibels are detrimental to your health. Children are affected by noises above 60 decibels. The Decibel is the unit of measure for the intensity of sound waves and, in simple terms, any noise that dwarfs normal conversation between two people is most probably above 60 decibels.
Sound is an important and valuable part of everyday life. But when sound becomes noise, it can negatively affect our mental and physical health. Exposure to prolonged or excessive noise has been shown to cause a range of health problems:
- Damaged brain and hearing power
- Increased risk of cardiovascular diseases
- Psychological disorders
- Poor sleep
- Interfering with speech
- Continual noise sets off the body’s acute stress response
