Briefings

Two UC San Diego-led studies demonstrate that playing sounds from healthy reefs can accelerate recovery efforts for degraded coral and fish communities. The research suggests underwater acoustic enrichment acts as a catalyst for ecological restoration, though specific mechanisms and long-term impacts remain under investigation.

Key points

• UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography led two new studies on underwater acoustic enrichment.
• Playback of sounds from healthy reefs can help spur recovery of degraded coral reefs and fish communities.

Context and limitations

Evidence is limited to two studies from 2026; specific mechanisms and long-term impacts remain under investigation.
