@@eduardoricardo94 yes, definitely awesome to see people caring & taking action to preserve their oceans & ecosystems. Here in Hawai'i we also too have invasive species like Rois, Toaus & Taapes(fish) & seaweed too. Right on guys 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Vlog for the cause, dive for the cause, merch for the cause. So many reason why I followed and subscribe to your IG & YT channel. You’re one of the best and humble foreign blogger of the Philippines🇵🇭Mabuhay ka FinnSnow!!!🤙
The advantage of diving, not only you can enjoy and explore the ocean, but also you can help out the livelihood, ecosystem, and maintain the beauty of nature. Hands up to both of you Finn and Sherlyn. Great job done!👍🤙
Congratulations Finn and Sherlyn! You guys are doing an amazing job! And Finn thank you for loving the Philippines even though it’s not your country but you have shown great love and affection just like your very own and for that thank you in behalf of all the filipinos. I pray for your great success in your journey and to Sherlyn too as well and oh Jake too! God bless
All praises to you, Finn, not only for amazing vlogs featuring the wonders of the Philippine islands and its inhabitants BUT most specially for the environmental and humanitarian causes you are engaged in. Kudos to Sherlyn, also helping to protect our seas and oceans by eradicating the Crown of Thorns (COTs) w/c totally destroy coral reefs and whole eco-system w/c leads too to starving fisherfolks. More power to you, guys!💕
Hi Finn and Sherlyn!!! WoW ! This is so Informative and Interesting. You both are so Dedicated in saving the Marine Life . We should have more Advocates like you guys . So Proud of You. God bless.❤️🙏
That’s very concerning that coral reefs have more threats than I realize. Good to know that you got involved and brought attention to a bigger audience, great vlog, congratulations! Stay safe & hopefully when everything comes back to normal; I would love to see the fighter boys dive for a cause. That will be fun and really, THANK YOU FOR CARING. More power
Crown-Of-Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster planci) The name of this species is fairly clear. The spines covering its upper surface make it look like, well, you know. Those spines are also venomous, which aid it in its quest for world domination. Found over a wide range in subtropical waters, from the Red Sea to across the Indian Ocean, and across the Pacific Ocean to the western coast of Central America, this species preys on coral polyps. As one of the largest starfish in the world, it has a voracious appetitive. When numbers are low, crown-of-thorns starfish help boost the biodiversity of coral reefs by preying on the fastest growing coral species. But if their populations become too high, they can wreak havoc on coral reefs. Their population booms are due in part from human fishing of and collection of their natural predators, the humphead wrasse and triton snail.
Thank you for educating us on this! I had no idea. And especially, thank you for the actions behind your words. You don't just talk the talk, you walk the walk! Also, luv the idea behind the merch. I will be purchasing right after this. Thank you for taking care of our ocean! 🙏
Gud a m finnlyn, wow thats a noble obligation. Congratulation ur now certified COT Diver any how be very very careful those cot spikes are deadly. This time ur a long way indulge with DENR & DOT Gov't agencies, i salute i think ure the first among the foreign vloggers to achieve such an honor and prestige and that honor in itself will take farther and higher goals, stay humble and plant ure feet on the ground. Respect u both by your viewers and subscribers, we took pride that ure channel has a very honorable concept. LUZVIMINDA is my sisters name. How much per shirt, i want to order, sana kaya ko ang presyo para naman makatulong ako. Thanks a lot
I agree to what you've said Finn 👍 We should save oceans, rivers, seas, help locals and local fishermen. We can only find abundant and beautiful marine wildlife in the Southern part of the PH (visayas and mindanao). Life in the province is different from the main city. In province, you can survive and eat without a job. YHWH God has given and provided us everything we need💕 All we have to do is take care of it. 😉👍
Always good to see any kind of environmental projects going on in the Philippines, it needs to keep it's natural beauty...Huge respect and thumbs up to anyone that gets involved in things like this!
Thanks for what you do finn and Sherlynn. Helping maintain ocean health, raising awareness about COTS (l learned something new again from your vlog), and helping the locals. This is what sets you apart from every one else. Love the shirt. Will definitely buy to support you supporting CURE and other environmental projects.
Congratulations Finn and Sherlyn for the certifications. All the best and thank you for your active involvement with this project. Congratulations too on your new merch., the "Luzviminda" shirt is amazing. Take care.
This is awesome! I was actually cheering for both of you. So satisfying to watch you getting rid of these "reef killers". Doing it naturally without harming the eco-system too. And also to be recognized with certificates in the end for your efforts as well. Wonderful video! Well done you guys! 👍👍👍😉
crown of thorns .. as far as i know it is also still a big prob along the coastline of Panay island.. yeah i remember you previous vlog on Antique province.. my friends whom are part of the local diving communities here in Panay island are also doing their best to resolve such an issue

Thank you both for helping in eliminating these destructive and deadly Crown of Thorns proud of you both and everyone who is doing this very important task , your right in what you say its paramount for the livelihood of many good honest fishermen as these coral areas help keep the oceans healthy and full of many species of tropical fish that otherwise would also become extinct. I hope those who iliegally dynamite area's to get fish stop and start to wake up and realize the damage they also do to the oceans environment because they also are destructive in what they do . thank you both again take care .

THANKS FINN & SHERLYN
Not only are your vids educational and uplifting, i like the way you also practice what you preach !!! great work. love ur vids !!!! ALSO finn is it possible to order the shirts you have in a 2 or even 3 xl sizes. in the site only goes to xL

Love you lots and God Bless you hard💕❤️💕
I would totally volunteer to dive and help eradicate COTs. If I ever make it back home again. It's all about balance. There should be more education to the locals and also promote this as a tourist thing to do to help. Oh and your underwater video skills are getting better. Nice.
It is toxic to the starfish itself because starfishes and other echinoderms are quite bad at regulating internal pH. Vinegar works by increasing acidity inside the body cavity of the starfish, which causes the cells to also lower their pH, disrupting membranes and cell processes. The lower pH of the cell cytosol causes the membranes of the lysosome (the "stomach" of the cell) to fall apart, spilling more acid which rips apart DNA and proteins from within the cell. The cells basically disintegrate one by one. This in turn causes the immune system of the starfish to overreact (basically an "allergic" reaction), causing even more damage and dramatic tissue death on the starfish. It doesn't work if you just spray vinegar at them, because the seawater would quickly neutralize the acidity of vinegar. It works because it is injected. The injection hole is too small for vinegar to escape into the seawater, so it is concentrated inside the starfish doing maximum damage. But as the starfish dies, holes of dead tissue allow the vinegar to escape into the seawater which in turn, neutralizes it. The starfish corpse can then actually be eaten by scavengers with no ill effects, including by fish and other species of starfish and echinoderms. Lime juice also works in the same way.
awesome work guys I had no idea these beasties were the ones you guys were helping with before (in another video I watched many months ago now whilst I was still in the UK)... I actually have also seen these critters in Dalaguete as well... thankfully not so many of them, but had no idea they are troublesome until watching this!... I would love to help you guys... ❤️🇵🇭🌊🤿🙌🏼
