'The ocean is teeming with microscopic life,' Adolfo Sánchez-Blanco said. 'I wanted to make a video about this so that people could be aware of this.'
"It would depend where the ocean water was sampled," Sánchez-Blanco told."The important thing is that the ocean is teeming with microscopic life and that this microscopic life is essential for the overall health of the marine ecosystems, as these creatures occupy a fundamental role in the marine food web."
At left is a single vial of seawater, while at right is the larvae of a microscopic crustacean, one of the many tiny organisms found in a single drop of seawater.He continued:"I was always fascinated about the fact that the ocean is teeming with microscopic life and wanted to make a video about this so that people could be aware of this fascinating fact.", which has been viewed over 6.
"These microorganisms are not a problem," he went on."The problem is when the ocean gets polluted. This will alter the balance in the ecosystem, and harmful bacteria or toxic algae blooms will thrive. This can lead to gastrointestinal infections, skin issues or other worse problems." Sánchez-Blanco, who teaches at Capital Community College in Hartford, Connecticut, began creating TikTok videos for his students."My main goal was to use the power of social media to excite my students to learn the material that we cover in class," he said."I mostly make microscopy videos, but I really enjoy making videos about any interesting biological fact that I could encounter.
