About this listen

 Tom Bowling is a marine conservationist and aquarist. Growing up in South America, Tom had a fascination with understanding how small animals he found transformed in tanks. He bought his first car from selling fish he cultivated in his tanks, and expanded his scientific knowledge by undertaking a Marine Biology and Aquaculture degree at James Cook University, Australia. He used this knowledge to develop innovative techniques for rearing fish in the Aquaculture industry and has experience in Australia and the Pacific Ocean. In 2012, he moved to Palau and started BIOTA.

BIOTA is an aquaculture company with a goal to protect and enhance the marine environment. They have developed innovative ways to raise captive coral reef organisms, ensuring nothing sold comes from the wild. Furthermore, BIOTA have come up with multiple innovations in the industry, which include the first to close the life Cycle of the Bumphead Parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum) and the captive breeding the Mandarin Fish (Synchiropus splendidus). BIOTA not only educate people and communities about the importance of the coral reefs through the creation of the world's easiest salt water aquarium , but they also use the company as an opportunity to restock overfished reef fish populations in Palau.

If you're interested in learning how to start a coral reef ecosystem you can check out the BIOTA aquarium at the following link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuTW7F2tzzU. It's a great product that educates the buyer with a step by step process on how to start and maintain a saltwater aquarium*.
