Soundtrack of the sea: divers use underwater speakers to help dying coral reefs

Divers are installing waterproof speakers in the ocean to help pull a coral reef near Jamaica back from the brink

The northern coast of https://www.theguardian.com/world/jamaica">Jamaica once served as the backdrop for scenes in the James Bond thriller No Time to Die.

But today, beneath those same turquoise waves, a real-life mission is unfolding: the race to pull a dying coral reef back from the brink.

However, the tools a team of divers are carrying to the seafloor are not what you would expect to find in a marine biologist’s kit.

They are installing waterproof speakers at the bottom of the ocean, and the man leading the team is not a scientist.
