Abstract
The Southeast Coast of Australia is internationally acclaimed for its aquatic biodiversity. The region is home to marine life grappling with the consequences of climate change; however, conservation is constrained by limited public awareness and substantial knowledge gaps. Employing hydrophones for non-invasive monitoring of marine environments has become a popular way to improve conservation efforts and foster empathy for marine life. This has inspired a body of interdisciplinary creative research on the Sunshine Coast that seeks to raise awareness of marine ecosystems and the numerous vulnerable species on the verge of extinction in Australia. This paper extends the Beeyali research project's initial phase, delving into marine environments to examine the shifting acoustic ecologies of our oceans. The research investigates processes and concepts crucial for survival across various scales, from the microscopic to the global, and explores novel methods for visualising marine environment soundscapes to uncover ecological interconnectedness. This research embodies a shared understanding that the arts are key to a relational approach when addressing the health of our communities and environments. This paper functions as an exegesis to support a major creative artefact for EVA London 2023 that will be presented remotely from the ocean in Queensland, Australia, accompanied by a live demonstration of cymatic explorations with migrating humpback whales, a significant species on Kabi Kabi Country. The creative work aims to illuminate the potential of interdisciplinary approaches in enhancing conservation efforts and fostering a deeper connection with the marine environment.
