#SeaCucumbers are essential to the cycling of nutrients of the #seafloor, gathering, processing, and depositing out ocean food! These squishy superheroes are major players in storing carbon and an ocean system that stabilizes the whole planet's climate.

Small frilled anemone
Feeding arms of a scarlet psolus, a type of sea cucumber found in depths of 40+ feet.
My buddy brought his underwater scooters for some powered exploration, so we zoomed to our destinations and then swam back. Super fun!

#Seacucumbers are chunky, leathery-skinned animals that clean sediments in the seafloor by eating bacteria & decaying organic matter, & recycle nutrients that benefit ecosystems. They were once so plentiful off Manila that selling them for Chinese cuisine was a booming business.
BBC article about captive breeding of #seacucumbers in the #Philippines. The goal is reintroduction after their numbers were reduced from over harvest.

"Sea cucumbers provide benefits for the environment. Commonly referred to as the janitors of the sea, they clean sediments in the seafloor by eating bacteria and decaying organic matter, and recycle nutrients that benefit ecosystems."
