Samantha Howlett Joins us on Surface Interval 12, Coral Reef Research in French Polynesia, Parrot Fish, Pasta the Dog and Free Draw
In this episode we have a really interesting chat with Samantha Howlett about her work and research all over the world but specifically the Coral Reefs of Moorea in French Polynesia!
Samantha found the very pretty Parrotfish is not only good for the reefs because they clean the Corals when they munch away but if they get too big they can have a negative effect on the corals
We also find out Coral Reefs need more Sharks, as these top-level Predators help regulate all the other levels of the ecosystem
Samantha brought back her pal to the UK, Pasta a waif and Stray from Moorea, they both formed a bond and couldn't be separated so Pasta was taken home when she left
yes pasta is the dog's name
