Why some animals in the ocean live 500 years
#1
It seems that the oldest animals on Earth are in the oceans.  Some corals can live 500 years. Some species live even longer. 
They live long because of their stable lives. Now that we are messing up the oceans what does that mean for their stability and longevity.

It is a staggering thought that a piece of our discarded plastic could impact and even end the life of something that has lived 500 years. Our plastics are reaching deeper and deeper into the ocean and doing more and more damage. We  need to stop dumping things into the ocean and we really need to find a way to clean up our mess.

Can you imagine seeing a sponge that is 1,100 years old. I am impressed when I meet a 100 year old.
