Scientists are using underwater speakers to help restore degraded coral reefs: Study - ABC News
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
Researchers have discovered a new method that could encourage the restoration of degraded coral reef populations, which have been declining around the world.
Corals rely on rich soundscapes to thrive, researchers have discovered.
A recent study by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution showed increased coral larvae settlement in areas where sounds of a healthy reef were played through underwater speakers.
