Hawaii Reef and Marine Biology

Dr. Cindy Hunter discusses Hawaii Reef and Marine Biology at Habilitat Hawaii in April of 2012. Hawai'i's corals are important to its people. Back in ancient Hawai'i, the Hawai'ians thought of coral polyps as the first creatures to emerge in creation. In fact, corals were often presented as offerings during religious ceremonies. Hawai'i's coral reefs are very unique. Hawai'i is about 2,000 miles away from the nearest land mass. The isolation has created unique species that can be found nowhere else in the world. Hawai'i was born of volcanic fires and started with no life. The only plants and animals to settle here were very long-distance travelers. Some drifted as larvae, a very few swam, others hitched rides. Stranded in these isolated waters, the offspring of this select group thrived and multiplied in their isolated paradise. Over millions of years many species changed and became uniquely Hawaiian. http://www.habilitat.com 1-800-872-2525
