  • Kelly Slater, John John Florence and Rosy Hodge joined Tavarua's managing director Rick Isbell in the island's efforts to restore the giant clams in the protected reefs surrounding the tiny island. In fact, Tavarua is now building its own hatchery tanks for hundreds of baby clams.

    Tridacnas are fascinating creatures. Unlike other bivalves like scallops and oysters they don't really eat food in the way that we're used to; they live off microflora that grows inside them. Clear water is a necessity so that their plants can get enough sunlight.

    It'd be awesome if someone brought up the topic of MicroPlastics which Giant Clams are very susceptible to.....

    • @curlysshuffle1157
      @curlysshuffle1157 3 года назад

      It's quite funny to hear people whine about microplastics when the entire planet Earth is still using them and every government on the planet Earth is still using them I must agree we should have stayed with glass bottles drinks taste better and I could go on and on about drinking out of glass bottles but the bottom line is every country on Earth every government is approving and or selling this that and the other in plastic bottles so if you want to start with correcting it why don't you go up to the government instead of citizens? You will not and you can't because well because you can't microplastics what a fucking joke

    • @irrelevantna3616
      @irrelevantna3616 7 лет назад +11

      Hey Laurent, I'm a young American surfer who appreciates what these guys are doing because I care about our world. I also support OUR president. Wrap your narrow minded head around that one...

    • @pinetarsavage
      @pinetarsavage 7 лет назад +6

      Seeing as Trump wants to cut funding to US FWS and other conservation programs in the United States, your stance is definitely a little tricky. Nonetheless, I still find it encouraging that Trump supporters care about our planet, even if their votes suggest otherwise. I'm sure having such a conversation in a comments section of RUclips would be useless. Surf on brother.

    • @laurentoutang8273
      @laurentoutang8273 7 лет назад +2

      Your president doesn't care about environment if you support his action saying that "you care about our world" is nonsense. As a surfer lover I don't understand how you can support someone who doesn't care about the rising of the ocean due to global warming. No more Tavarua in few years if the world follows Trump environmental Policy. Not thinking of the global impacts of our policy is being selfish and narrow minded.
