Experience how the sounds of a healthy reef can bring dying coral ecosystems back to life. Click to begin the simulation.
Playing healthy reef sounds to attract marine life and restore the ecosystem
Degraded coral reefs are silent and lifeless. Healthy reefs produce a rich soundscape — crackling shrimp, popping snapping shrimp, and low-frequency fish calls — that acts as a beacon for fish larvae searching for a home.
This simulation demonstrates how underwater acoustic enrichment can bring a dying reef back to life. Click "Play Reef Sounds" to broadcast healthy reef audio, watch sound waves ripple outward, and observe as fish are drawn to the reef and coral health gradually recovers.
