I learned how hermaphrodite coral reproduce. Thanks.

I have a question. When you go down there and see ancient creatures still alive, what are the microbial samples on the surfaces of your equipment when it comes up? If the creatures lived all this time like forever since dinosaurs unchanged and healthy, do you think there is something in the water down there life giving and sustaining for us too that way?

[indajaninakawe]

What about underwater currents like the one in Australia created to feed the corals in a sweeping manner from the deep where those ancient creatures are that have all the great life giving properties already there?

[sethuswathy]

Love you both for your useful information....from Kerala, India

Our corals have turned gray and dead. Tourism and fishing in our area is to blame, it's really sad. ☹️
Humans just don't know how delicate corals are.

[indajaninakawe]

If the ocean rises and the heat from the sun continues, really the water will be absorbed in the clouds and the land itself underground. It will result in more land with cleaned streams and rivers and wells with the earth doing it by itself.

[indajaninakawe]

I heard some military dudes "train" dolphins for bad things like war tactics. Do you think they would help create natural currents to save the coral?

[indajaninakawe]

In India there was a locusts plague on the crops in Maharashtra. But it cou5 be their blessing because it is from outside the infected area. A different kind of crop. We could catch them like fish in microbial nets( they have the materials ). They could feed all the birds in sanctuaries, zoo's, and everywhere to make a rapid recovery for the farmers. The farmers are suffering great depression and things I don't want to talk about. This may be nature's save for them??

I saw a video where they took alot of plastic waste to a manufacturer and turned it into pretty expensive jewelry. In fact what is a man's trash really is a man's treasure. Poor people are really sitting on goldmines and their trash can be sold to these manufacturers for profit instead holding up their economy.

[indajaninakawe]

A big misconception is that the size of the planet is fixed. Nothing in the universe is fixed. That's not normal. The earth GROWS. We are told a mistaken assumption. As all life on the planet grows and thrives doesn't it make sense that the planet itself behaves the same way? We have seen other planets in massive sizes, because they also grow. It's natural way of things. Make sense?

What do we need expert for, when we got "fake news", Albert Gore, Greta Thunberg and such like.
