About Us

Wow, thanks for checking out my "about us" page. I am Mounika Makham, a lover of the sea and its exotic creatures.

I created this blog as a way to communicate about various sea creatures. Explore the marine life creatures and their mesmerizing facts. From sharks and sea turtles to ecosystems and corals, take a deep dive into life under the sea, to find about your favorite creatures.

No matter how old we are, we all have that small childish character when we go for animated pictures. So, for my craziness I have created a new page Anime in my blog. In which I will be posting about the animated sea movies and different characters played.

Coral Reefs: Rainforests Of The Sea

Image
Corals are underwater structures composed of calcium carbonate. Each coral is referred to as a polyp which is primarily responsible for building reefs. The reefs provide a safe haven for almost millions of animals including fish, crabs, shrimp, clams, snails and many more rely on and adapt to the coral reef lifestyle. Each one of them plays a vital role in protecting the health of the reef. Found in warm, polar, and shallow waters, the corals have a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae. Living inside the polyp body provides carbohydrates for the coral where in turn the coral provides home and carbon dioxide for the algae. In addition, the algae remove waste and help corals to provide lively colors and are found in an array of shapes. The Australian barrier reef is the largest coral reef which is more than 1500 miles long. Different species of coral reefs are found in different ocean basis. Where the reef in Indo-pacific can be completely different from the reef in the t

Blade Runner: The Badass Whale

Image
In 2001, a humpback whale was cut by a boat propeller in Sydney, Australia. The 30-centimeter-deep scars are still visible along her side today, but this whale has defied the odds and survived. She is known as Blade Runner. Blade Runner was first seen in the waters off Sydney in 2001. She was swimming with her calf when she was struck by a boat propeller. The impact was so severe that it caused her to bleed profusely. She was also left with a number of deep scars, including one that runs the entire length of her side. Despite her injuries, Blade Runner survived. She was able to swim away and rejoin her pod. In the years since, she has been seen repeatedly in the waters off Sydney and New South Wales. She has even been spotted as far away as Tasmania. Blade Runner's story has also helped to raise awareness of the dangers that whales face from boat strikes. Each year, hundreds of whales are injured or killed by boats. Blade Runner is a reminder of the importance of taking steps to pr

What Gives More Oxygen on Planet Earth?

Image
Everybody knows that plants and trees produce oxygen for the earth. But, do you know that oceans and seas contribute more oxygen. Produced by marine plants, algae and single-celled organisms called phytoplankton. These may not be seen by the naked eye but produce more, which is not even close to the proportions produced by the trees and plants. The ocean produces oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis, which converts sunlight and carbon dioxide and can use as energy. One type of plankton, Prochlorococcus releases tons of oxygen into atmosphere. So small, that can millions can be present in a single drop of water. It produces 20% of the oxygen to the earth biosphere, which is more than the rainforests on land combined. Scientists mention that a single cell can give oxygen for one in every 5 breaths we take. Calculating the amounts of oxygen on oceans may vary because of the change in climate conditions, geographic location and with the tides. It is also important to remember that the
