English term or phrase: highly attuned to their surroundings
The US military has plans to create genetically modified marine organisms that can be used as underwater spies for the military. Fantastic as this idea may seem, the Pentagon's research arm, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), has actually launched a new programme that aims to tap into the "natural sensing capabilities" of marine organisms, who are ***highly attuned to their surroundings***, to track enemy traffic undersea.
