Some 20 years ago I once participated in a scientific project of marine biology with a group of my divers - to extract tiny small segments of the ocean soil by means of UW air-sucking devices used for such purposes -like an UW vacuum cleaner. Each diver contributed to this team work. Each dive focusing on a small area of less than one square meter surface and some 20-30 cm depth.

Later at the surface all our surfaced bottom material was cleansed and prepared for the lab and then inspected by our professor and all our dives. Thousands of small, smallest and larger animals, shells, and micro organisms in just a smallest single area of ocean bottom .....

Imagine the wealth of live on the entire ocean or the wealth of life in a single island jungle in the Philippine islands or elsewhere.
