ZigZag Whitsundays Reviews
10 Facts About Snorkelling In The Whitsunday Islands
1. Lots of fish perform sequential hermaphroditism, where they start as one sex & at some point in life change to the other. Maori Wrasse start as females & the alpha female will change to a male if the resident male dies, Clownfish are the opposite, they start as males & switch to female
2. At night time, Parrotfish surround themselves in a mucous bubble to avoid detection by predators
3. Starfish regenerate if broken into pieces
4. Some marine worms when they reproduce, swell up with gametes all at the same time, then float in a big group & when they bump into each other they explode
5. Phytoplankton are responsible for 70% of the world’s Oxygen production
6. Hard corals are a significant carbon sink, as they lay down the CaCO3 skeletons, they pull carbon dioxide from the seawater
7. The presence of different coral types is an indicator of the environment they are in. Soft corals are found in more turbulent environments as they can survive the impact of strong water flow. Delicate corals such as staghorn & large plate corals are found in less turbulent environments. Mushroom corals are the only type of coral that is a single polyp, all other forms are formed of large colonies of polyps
8. Whitsunday island corals are part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park
9. ZigZag Whitsundays Airlie Beach Snorkeling Tour provides you fins where most other companies won’t
10. Turtles are spotted most days on our Airlie Beach snorelling tour with ZigZag Whitsundays
