This video nearly got me teary eyed. I hope everyone that watches this, gets inspired to do something that will help our planet and or help the people on our planet. Either indirectly or directly, it doesn't matter but the ultimate goal should be to commit yourself to a profession that "gives", "inspires", "smartens" and makes for a more happier & brighter future.

I grew up at the shores of the Caribbean, and throughout I've seen reefs turn from majestic swarms of life and color into bleached graveyards covered in filth. I thank this woman, because she brings me hope, that I will show my grandchildren, at least some of the wonders I saw as a kid.

Such a passionate talk! It's so inspiring listening to people who are sincerely devoted to their mission. This insightful perspective on the implicit worthfulness of coral reefs offers an amazing paradigmatic shift over the traditional approach to environmental protection: ecosystems are not just beautiful, romantic, yet useless monuments to the natural history; instead, they are mighty active powerhouses which silently, relentlessly and unwillingly contribute to human prosperity, thus deserving respect even from those greedy cynical guys who are exclusively focused on profitability and exploitation. Brilliant speech.

This is a noble venture and I'm so glad we're doing it, as a lover of corals and oceanic life forms and an inhabitant of earth, but only a year after this video 30% of the Great Barrier Reef died off in a single season by bleaching as a result of increasingly warming water temps. In other words, it doesn't matter what we do on land to seed the reefs if the water is too hot for them to live in to begin with. Corals are extremely sensitive creatures. They require precise Ph, salinity, temperatures, and trace elements. Ask any saltwater reef aquarium hobbyist; you can kill these things super easily in only a few hours. What is most likely the best option is to keep corals in aquariums on land until we get our global warming issues under control, then reseed them.

We should do the same with fish. Not just take it up like hunter gatherers and overfish but plant fish ocean wide. Fish don't take any land, fertilizers or pesticides and look after themselves. The earth is 70% oceans. it provides the best omega-3 fat, vitamins and proteins. We find them by sonar. If left alone other fish and sharks eventually will eat them. We can ensure that there is a plentiful of fish in the enormous oceans.

Phillip Lam Oh I love it. Aquaponics, ways to use the biggest life habitat on earth, the oceans for plants and fish, foods and veggies. Without sharks you can even take a bath cause we don't need much sharks around. Multiple ways to fill the oceans with life. As long as we plant there's fresh food the year around. Fortunately it's healthy food. If you eat a lot you become more healthy, if you eat a lot of burgers and fries you get less heathy.

rawstarmusic sharks are mostly needed, they don't compete for fishing resources with us, rather they eat ill and old fish, helping fish populations to be healthier, without the risk of epidemics. Thus, sharks help us to have a tastier healthier fish dish on our table

Mud Hut wrong. Coral polypes actually spew out jellyfish as a means of reproduction and expansion, the jellyfish will then spew out a fertilized egg which will attach to the ocean floor and develop to become a new polype (coral).
@LaughingMan448 жыл бұрын
I'm a wildlife biologist, you're getting terms confused of colloquialisms. Jellyfish and Corals are in the same Phylum but belong to different orders, the same way mammals are in the same phylum as other chordates. They share similar anatomies and strategies, but corals are not the same thing as jellyfish. They have different genetic lineages with a common ancestor. Research Phylum Cnidaria if you don't believe me.
@henriandco8 жыл бұрын
Mud Hut I'm only a student in biology but I'm sorry I have to disagree. Since I'm french, we might be using different terms and I might be mixing it up. Even so, I have my notes and cycles right in front of me, and it says there are indeed different orders, some only sessile (talked about in this video), some only free (jellyfish), but most have 2 stages: one where the individual is fixed and as a colony makes up a big part of the coral, and spew out a free jellyfish. I'm quoting wikipedia (just so I don't make any error in translating, I cross-checked with what I learned in class): "In the Cnidaria, sexual reproduction often involves a complex life cycle with both polyp and medusa stages. For example, in Scyphozoa (jellyfish) and Cubozoa (box jellies) a larva swims until it finds a good site, and then becomes a polyp. This grows normally but then absorbs its tentacles and splits horizontally into a series of disks that become juvenile medusae, a process called strobilation. The juveniles swim off and slowly grow to maturity, while the polyp re-grows and may continue strobilating periodically." the free medusae will then host the zygote's encounter, and the egg formed will develop into a larvae which will attach to the ocean floor to make a new polype. So, true the jellyfish isn't actually a larvae (I was over-simplifying it, my bad), but what you said isn't wright either.
