When you scuba dive near a Reef you can hear it Crackle if you're in the sand and coming up to a reef you can hear it get louder and louder and it crackles just like they had on here

Am I the only one who thinks the healthy reefs sound like someone cooking bacon on a pan, and the unhealthy ones sound like fire crackling?

And what sound or frequency are you hoping to obtain collectively through hundreds of hours of recordings, one might ask? How would one articulate the differences in the sound they heard and how would you compare between the young or the old? And how do you interpret a conclusion And? And what's your hope or intention on what one collectively becomes aware of? All I hear is "collective, aware, and frequency"...SMH...Since you have online help you should get...something...heard, in a zip💨🙃
*Imagine all the hours of recordings outside of the marine protected fishing areas...Outside the protected zone would be like a fish out of water. Have a good day at work!
