Groupers on guard

Researchers from Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute have received up to $5 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency as part of the Persistent Aquatic Living Sensors program. The goliath grouper generates low-frequency sounds when they are approached by divers. The “boom” sounds that they make are acoustically distinct from other species of groupers, which will alert authorities to a potential threat.
