Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind. My name is Robert Lam. And I'm Joe McCormick. And it's Saturday time to head on into the old vault. This time there seems to be a tide slushing around in the vault. What are we doing today?

We are revisiting an older episode of Stuff to Blow Your Mind, one from July of 2016. This is an episode that we did with Dr. Mara J. Hart. This was a Christian episode. We were chatting with Dr. Hart about coral reefs in coral reef ecology and coral reef reproduction specifically.

Well, every chat with Mara Hart is excellent. So y'all are in for a treat. Yeah. And I was inspired to rerun this one because as of this recording, I just got back from a week's stay in Belize.

In Belize, my family went out to Glover's Reef, which is part of the Belize barrier reef. We're staying in a little place called Islamarasal. And it was absolutely lovely every day going out snorkeling amid the coral, getting to see all these creatures big and small, especially from my experience. I just really enjoyed seeing the nurse sharks, one of which was like six feet long. It was really impressive.

And then these eagle rays that they flap and soar through the water. But yeah, it was just at times this kind of almost religious experience to be snorkeling in this kind of ecosystem.

I remember this episode not only went really into the science of corals, but also talks about the importance of preserving our coral reefs and highlights some of the organizations involved in this ongoing effort, this ongoing fight to save them and preserve places like this so that everybody can have a shot at experiencing them.

Excellent. Well, let's jump right in.

Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind from howstuffworks.com.

For corals that live beneath the sea, their days are marked by celibacy. Excepting one night when the moon is just right, they engage in a million strong orgy.

But for them to secure the prize corals must be ever wise for there as a catch in order to dispatch their orgasms must be synchronized.

Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, my name is Robert Lam.

And I'm Christian Sager and that may have sounded like the Dr. Sous version of coral sex, but actually it was a bit from Mara J. Hart's Sex in the Sea, which we've talked about on the show before.

And we're going to do again this episode.
