Marybeth Brey, a research fish biologist with the Geological Survey and Christa Woodley, a research biologist with the Army Corps of Engineers, co-lead the project.

They designed and installed a 16-speaker soundbar at Lock 19 in the Mississippi River, a section of the river between Keokuk, Iowa, and Hamilton, Illinois.
