Scientists boost coral larval settlement with sound and engineered habitats
Original: In situ enhancement of coral larval settlement using acoustic enrichment, engineered habitats and living materials
Researchers report a new method to help coral larvae settle and grow on damaged reefs, combining acoustic enrichment that mimics healthy reef sounds with engineered habitats and living materials deployed directly in the ocean. The in situ approach aims to improve restoration success where natural recruitment is failing, and it is drawing attention from marine biologists concerned about accelerating reef decline.
Why now: Coral reefs are rapidly degrading worldwide, so new restoration techniques attract wide scientific and public interest.
