In two recent studies, WHOI scientists demonstrated a new way to assess the health of coral reefs and to monitor threats on remote atolls: They used low-cost underwater recorders designed by WHOI engineers to collect soundscapes of reefs. The collective recordings of noises made by reef inhabitantsincluding marine mammals, fish, and shrimppainted vivid pictures of the reefs abundance and diversity. The recordings also picked up sounds of boats, indicating human activities. The study was led by WHOI biologist Aran Mooney and MIT-WHOI Joint Program student Max Kaplan. Another graduate student, Tom DeCarlo (shown here), helped take measurements for the studies.
