#reefrestoration — Public Fediverse posts

For your 'Well, THIS is cool' story of the day - 🎵 The reefs are aliiiiiiive, with the sound of muuuuuuuusic ... 🎵 - or should be, anyway!

This has been successful for other species, especially in coral reefs, & researchers are learning transmitting the sounds of a healthy reef will attract baby #oysters as well - up to 17,000 more per square metre! 🤩

And if you're thinking 'Wait - oysters can hear?' - they talk about that too! 😄

I have so many awesome and clever friends. Really proud of Dr. Taryn Foster, she's working at the nexus of coral research and robotics to upscale coral reef restoration projects. Check out this new 4 minute clip on the project!

CoralPod is a brilliant partnership project proving that the making of a complex artificial structure, designed for natural habitat restoration use, doesn’t always need a complicated tech heavy solution. This is handmade heterogeneity. Complex architectural reef habitat.
