I take it this is invasive?

Sorry, I have no idea what you’re talking about. What is an ROI

Enjoy! Go get em'

They also release millions of eggs when threatened

That one ,??? What is that 😾😽

Criminal it’s even there!!!

Literally no fish went after it...

☕️🫡

When you said youtube big find I thought oh he's finally getting payed nope it's a coffee cup 😂

“ A test of patients” really? KZbin is illiterate anymore.

Cut it smaller it will just regrow thank you for helping our coral

"feed the fish" saw no fish but human killing starfish

Thanks for releasing ever sand grain so they can return to ocean floor . Job well done .

I don’t see no fish.😳

Super stampers in the ocean? That’s crazy

It's amazing the usefulness of liftbags. I was a commercial diver and often we could have a 100tonne+ piece of structure on liftbags and we'd be merrily moving it about as if a child with a helium balloon. Natures natural crane. I think this is neglected in the training of sport divers. Sure, there'll be some dumb weighbelt lift with a tiny lift bag but if the course included say a tractor tyre or something else divers couldn't lift, it would go a long way in showing new divers what can really be done and the marvelous world they are entering.

Crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci), which feed on large swaths of western Pacific coral reefs, are notable unidirectional regenerators. Starfish of this invasive species are extremely difficult to eradicate because of their ability to regrow when half or more of the original starfish is intact.

Why are they do that?

Although good intentions, unfortunately this could be making the problem worse. COT’s are broadcast spawners. Their response when threatened is to release all of their eggs. Usually best to remove it from the water prior to culling populations. Also really good to do invertebrate surveys and coral predator surveys. Especially here in Hawaii, they can be very good for a reef, clearing up lesser resilient corals, so that new juvenile corals can grow.

Me too! So beautiful

Great job !❤

Woweee

Wow that's so big!! Awesome job!

My sister in law was dragged across the coral reef in Mexico while on vacation. Someone lost their glasses and she wanted to help. A wave came and dragged her across. She was cut from groin to her ankle. Almost lost her leg from infection. Coral is Really sharp!

That's huge! Disaster

Ohhh the sweet sound

He's really small

Thanks Kevin for all the love you put into the ocean!

Thats a lot of junk. Thanks

Hes not sure what you are😂

Wooowww! Love love love it!

I ❤ the way his fins move when he swam Away. EVER cute

Cool!¡🎉🎉

Im trying to figure out why you put an X on it. Might be in another video. Im still watching. Love what you do

Very nice! After looks so pretty

Its another world! So kool

Never take safety for granted! Be safe

😂😂 hes beautiful

That spool looked so so heavy!

Sight what a wonderful gift. Amazing what can be done today. ❤

Oh well at least it's being used

Thats horrible! I hope it wasn't deliberate! Humans don't respect our planet at all!

Terrible what I'm seeing come out of the ocean! Thank you for all you do❤

Killers

Maybe if humans stopped fishing, they would have a natural predator instead of us sticking our noses in again where not needed!

Good work!!

Isn't all that bare rock supposed to have life on it? Also, why's the coral all rock-like, sandy, small, and white? Answer: Yes, bc of decades of fossil-fuel burning, over fishing, and literally pumping millions (if not billions) of tons of pollution into the oceans every year.

Amazing! Bless you guys and gals for doing what you can for everyone and everything in the water!

What is the X for?

If you cut up a starfish, it doesnt die...it regrows a whole new starfish for every piece that has some of the center. So if the fish dont eat it, you ar5e just making more of them.
