A lot of us saw this, Doug. Personally, I grow weary of the latest
whizz-bang idea to "save the reefs", when we already know how to save
the reefs.
Yes, it's possible that playing reef sounds may enhance larval settling

published evidence that sewage was a major threat to those reefs.
Clean up the water.

World subsidies for fossil fuels reached an all-time high of over $1
TRILLION in 2022, the last year for which data is available. The
subsidies
MUST end.
