Limiting motorboat noise on coral reefs boosts fish reproductive success

Limiting motorboat noise on coral reefs boosts fish reproductive success

Using a season-long field manipulation with an established model fish system on the Great Barrier Reef, this study demonstrates that limiting motorboat activity on reefs leads to faster growth and survival of more fish offspring compared to reefs experiencing busy motorboat traffic. Noise mitigation...
