Me: Did you forget to color the rest of the coral? Daughter (6yrs): No. Half the coral is bleached from the hot ocean🌡 Me(in my head): Wow. And that came from a 30 min classroom conversation. How can I broaden this message and concept? 🤔 ⁦@WHOI

CORAL REEF NEWS: ‘Fishial’ Recognition: Neural Network Identifies Coral Reef Sounds publishing.aip.org/publications/l… Coral reefs are some of the world’s most diverse ecosystems. Despite making up less than 1% of the world’s oceans, one quarter of all marine species spend some portion of their life on a reef. With so much life in one spot, researchers can struggle to gain a clear understanding of which species are present and in what numbers. In JASA, published on behalf of the Acoustical Society of America by AIP Publishing, researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution combined acoustic monitoring with a neural network to identify fish activity on coral reefs by sound. For years, researchers have used passive acoustic monitoring to track coral reef activity. Typically, an acoustic recorder would be deployed underwater, where it would spend months recording audio from a reef. Existing signal processing tools can be used to analyze large batches of acoustic data at a time, but they cannot be used to find specific sounds — to do that, scientists usually need to go through all that data by hand. #coralreefs #soundscapes #coralreefresearch #neuralnetworks #coralfish #conservation #coralsurverys #coralreefecology #marinebiology

Check out our newly published work showing that compounds in sponge exhalent water influence the composition, growth, and nutrient cycling of coral reef picoplankton. rdcu.be/d49mx
