Strolling along the pristine beaches of the Maldives, you're walking on a surprising secret. The soft, white sand beneath your feet has an unexpected origin. Much of it comes from the work of parrotfish, which play a crucial role in creating these beautiful shores. These colorful fish spend their days nibbling on coral, digesting it, and then excreting fine sand. Next time you're enjoying a Maldivian beach, remember, that sand is nature's own creation, courtesy of parrotfish. ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ Check out Dr. Tim's Aquatics: https://www.drtimsaquatics.com/ ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ YouTube: https://www.instagram.com/drtimsaquatics/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtimsaquariums/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timothy-hovanec-ph-d-ab25383b/ #MaldivesTravel #ParrotfishFacts #BeachEcology
