Damaged coral reefs can be saved with enticing underwater soundscape, study suggests
Researchers aim to stimulate new growth in damaged coral reefs by "bathing" them in sound recordings taken from reefs teeming with life. A recently published study describes...
A recently published study describes what could be a promising new method to restore healthy conditions to coral reefs, offering scientists the opportunity to save and repopulate one of the most vital marine ecosystems. Aoki and her colleagues built on previous research studies concerning coral larvae swimming towards reef soundscapes and developed their own sound contraption to test the new method. Aoki stated that the study yielded interesting and promising results, but more research is needed to determine if other coral species can benefit from healthy reef soundscapes, and how the new settlements develop over time.
