Today, it was a little too choppy out in the ocean. So, I swam around the rocks in Kamakahonu Bay. Lots of fish. Lots of rocks. Lots of murkiness. And towards the end of this 90-second creation – a couple of large mullet come swimming along. They are totally harmless. Even safe to eat. (Unlike the barracuda).
If you live on an island in the middle of the ocean – Honolulu’s single-use plastics ban is a good thing. Consider the collector or decorator urchin. Ocean littler and debris “collects” on these guys. (Some folks think that the urchins seek out the debris and call them “decorators”.) It doesn’t matter. They are very useful critters. They keep algae and seaweed under control. Collector urchins are 24/7 algae and seaweed eating machines.
And finally this collector urchin. Decorated with a plastic spoon.
