Image Of the Day caption:
WHOI coral reef ecologist Amy Apprill tends to a hydrophone setup used as part of an experiment in the U.S. Virgin Islands to study how free-swimming coral larvae pick the location where they will settle for life. The team of researchers, including WHOI biologists Aran Mooney and Joel Llopiz, found that the soundscape of a reefthe combined sounds of all animals living nearbymight play a major role in steering corals towards healthy reef systems and away from damaged ones.
