Video description: Wu Jindai’s “Flying in the Ocean Current” MV specially invited Huang Yifeng and Li Weina, two ecological photographers, to cooperate to record the living environment of the blue sea and turtles in Xiaoliuqiu from 2019 to 2022, allowing the public to see the beauty and strong vitality of turtles.
The most nerve-wracking thing for parents during the summer vacation is that in the hot summer, where to find a place that can not only cool off the heat, but also discharge and be rich in knowledge?
In order to meet the three major needs of cooling off and learning, parents are recommended to accompany their children to explore “marine ecology”, especially the topic of “turtle ecology”!
Turtles are superheroes who slow ocean warming
Did you know that sea turtles are the unsung heroes of slowing down ocean warming? Because the staple diet of sea turtles is seagrass, when they gnaw seaweed, it improves the growth and nutrient content of seagrass leaves. Just like humans prune potted plants, turtles feed to keep seagrass beds healthy, and strong seagrass beds absorb carbon dioxide 35 times faster than tropical rainforests.
In addition, in the part of maintaining ecological balance, turtles are also important players that cannot be ignored. Due to the different preferences of human beings for aquatic creatures, the excessive breeding of healing “jellyfish” seriously disrupts the marine ecological balance, and jellyfish-loving sea turtles have become messengers to maintain ecological balance. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that sea turtles are indicators of ocean health.
|The wanderer of the ocean, the heart and lungs under the turtle shell are the most vulnerable places
Turtles are free and have the same historical years as dinosaurs, and they like to travel with the watershed. There are currently only seven species of sea turtles in the world, and there are five species that mainly inhabit the waters around Taiwan, and we can be said to be the hometown of the world’s sea turtles~
Turtles traveling everywhere carry what everyone thinks is a hard shell, in fact, under the shell is the heart and lungs, so when the turtle drifts along the watershed, it is easy to be hit by the propeller of the fishing boat, and once the shell is cracked, it is the death of the heart and lungs! That is to say, it is not that the turtle shell is not hard enough, but that the destructive power of humans is too strong, and there are many humans who like to touch the turtle shell with their hands, which invisibly increases the turtle infection with various bacteria and viruses.
But the child wants to experience the touch of a turtle (?) What to do? Communicate well, some things are more valuable from a distance than owned!
|Cold knowledge you must know about turtles
- Legend has it that turtles like to eat plastic bags? If you believe it, you should try it!
Turtles eat plastic bags mainly because of the smell, plastic bags that float in the ocean for a while will release chemicals, and the parasitism of microorganisms and algae makes it easy for turtles to eat plastic bags as jellyfish. The PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls), heavy metals and other substances attached to the plastic bag will also poison turtles, resulting in abnormal hormone metabolism, which will make turtles worse than dead! - Due to the impact of global warming, the sex ratio of sea turtles is greatly imbalanced, the number of female turtles has soared, and the Australian green turtle has an exaggerated ratio of 116:1 female to male.
- Because the green turtle eats seaweed and seaweed for a long time, it accumulates a lot of chlorophyll, so his fat is green!
- In order to let everyone understand the turtle, like him, love him and be willing to understand the importance and methods of maintaining the marine ecology, the “QUALY|Save the Turtles” series of products is specially launched!
“QUALY|Save the Turtles” series of products
The temperature of the ocean is rising, and the ecology of the seabed is also changing. Once the seabed ecosystem is damaged, it will directly reduce the ability of the ocean to absorb carbon dioxide, and the fate of climate and ocean is linked. The use of recycled fishing nets (EJF) collaboration, TPBI Thai plastics company WON program recycled plastic bags, recycled PET bottles and caps, are all 100% recyclable materials, reminding you of the importance of caring for the future of the ocean and protecting you and everyone around you.
In addition to turtles, the “QUALY | Save the Sea Turtles” series also includes the “Life of the Sea Tide” underwater creature series!
