- „Oxygen generated by the ocean“
The post suggests (incorrectly) that coral reefs produce O2.
Trees are plants that produce O2 (Even trees need O2 to breathe, they just produce much more than they use.).
Corals are colonies of animals that need oxygen to breathe. They live in an inner symbiontic (give and take) relationship with tiny green algae which are „microscopic plants“, producing O2 and food for the coral...
- Oceans do provide the planet with most of its oxygen – but it’s not the coral reefs that are producing it!More...
In the last three decades, half of the world's coral reefs have died and if we don't act now those oceans
treasures will be completely gone by 2050. It would be the destruction of an entire ecosystem, and with it, ourselves. That is why Naomi and I thought it is important to do something against this threatening thing that happens with these reefs! There is a group of people that started to replant reefs, that fell off in the ocean to ensure the survival of them.
We want to find out more about this project and how they proceed. How does the replanting work? Does it make a difference or is it all for nothing? How much time will it take to replant enough reefs to ensure their survival and with it ours?
