fish n chips (no chips tho)

These fish are extremely important to the prosperity and health of coral reefs, and beaches. They spend almost their entire lives eating algae from the reefs. This supports bioerosion; controlling algae population, allowing new spots for baby coral to attach and grow. Coral they eat is churned up in their throats (which are covered with teeth), and pooped out as white sand. Scientists estimate that the Chlorurus gibbus parrotfish will produce over 2,000 pounds of white sand in just a year. That’s eco systematically, good shit.

Writing has been my favorite way of expressing myself and my thoughts in a coherent way. When I was fifteen, I started keeping a notebook full of article pieces, pictures, and papers written on different living things in the ocean; fish, coral reefs, different kinds of whales, all that funky fresh stuff. Well, I’ve still held the same love for writing and for marine life that I did at that time, so why not make something where I can put out some of the things I learn? Most people like fish, or at least think they’re neat. It would probably take a while to walk down the street and find someone who would say ocean life ISN’T cool. Not everyone’ll be obsessed with it, but still, you know? You don’t have to be a scientist from a NG documentary to like learning about life under the sea. And I’m no where near that. All this to say, if you are interested in semi-ill educated posts about different things under the sea, stick around for a little bit and I hope you’ll find at least one thing that’ll make you go “Ooh, ahh”.
