Field notes
The site separates two operating modes: continuous passive recording for ecosystem assessment and playback of healthy-reef sound for restoration. Its monitoring claims include species or group activity, trophic fish biomass, and anthropogenic noise, while the restoration section specifies deployment during spawning periods. The homepage also provides mission sound excerpts and names projects spanning Réunion, Saint-Barthélemy, New Caledonia, Guadeloupe, Mayotte, and Europe.
