Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 57, No. 1, Pg. 17:
Free-swimming larval coral, called planulae, are contained while healthy reef sounds are played on an underwater speaker nearby to see if they will congregate closer to the noise. If it works, researchers think underwater sounds could be a promising restoration method for degraded reefs.
