Bumphead Parrotfish - Shaping our beaches
What if I told you there is a fish that shapes our beaches? You read this correctly; they shape our beaches! When you think of fish, you probably have a visual of a fish in the river or the ocean, a fish in an aquarium or maybe even a fish on your dinner plate. However, fish are much more complex and diverse than we think. We have some that live in freshwater, others in brackish water (water that has a little salt but not as much as seawater) and of course saltwater fish. They are also not just tied to salinity, but also to different habitats and depth. That is a lot of diversity and hence the large variety of different types of fish.
