********CORALES******** GRACIAS #corals Humans need corals; corals don’t really need humans. Corals are a thriving ecosystem within themselves that house a huge habitat of life; which us humans need and use for economic and more recently, for medicinal purposes! Ecological services provided from coral reefs are estimated at approximately 30 billion USD per year. There are anticancer agents, extracted from sponges in Caribbean reefs which are key ingredients in medicines for leukemia. Not to mention that corals are also the ‘rainforests of the sea’ – meaning that they help offset the CO2 buildup in the sea thanks to Zooxanthellae – tiny algae that live inside coral skeletons and play the role of trees in the reefs, as they photosynthesize. #learnmore #aquaticlife #planetconservation #divescuba10 #scuba10 #divessi #realdiving #corales #buceamexico #tauchen #plongee #mergulho #divers #scubadivingmexico #caribbean #scubaconservation #respectmarinelife #preservingcorals #gopro #missiondeepblue #coralecology (en Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_3GSj2H3j_/?igshid=1rbxl5dpf2bd
