This is a binaural microphone situated on an offshore beacon in the middle of the Etang de Berre that belongs to GIPREB - the organisation monitoring water quality in the lagoon and other environmental factors. You will hear the sounds of the water about 2 meters below and seabirds that perche just next to the microphone as well as planes taking off from Marseille Provence airport and the distant sound of a motorway that runs along the southern edge of the lagoon. The stream is run by Locus Sonus Vitae in collaboration with GIPREB.
