The Mystery of Sea Creatures (1/5): A coral reef love story | Ayana Elizabeth Johnson
About this episode
Ayana Elizabeth Johnson shares her love for parrotfish and discusses the impact of climate change on coral reefs.
Over the course of hundreds of scuba dives, marine biologist Ayana Elizabeth Johnson fell in love -- with a fish. In this ode to parrotfish, she shares five reasons why these creatures are simply amazing (from their ability to poop white sand to make colorful "wardrobe changes") and shows what's at stake -- for us and them -- as climate change threatens the future of coral reefs.
