Dr. Bazylak has many passions outside of dentistry...
When Aaron first touched the turquoise waters of one of our great oceans many years ago, little did he know this would be a life changing event. This and subsequent visits to the oceans started his journey into a deeper understanding of the delicate balances of the ocean and reef ecosystems and how their health impacts everyone of us everyday regardless of where we live. Aaron soon realized that he needed to have a real fish eye view of the coral reefs instead of snorkelling above. This is where The Diving Centre in Saskatoon came in to teach Aaron everything he needed to know to become a certified scuba diver. Over the years he has continued to study the art and chemistry of scuba diving reaching the level of Advanced Open Water Diver and Rescue Diver. He has had the opportunity to study and explore the countless coral reefs of the oceans even Palancar reef made famous by early initial explorations of Jacques Cousteau. Aaron has learned a great deal about the fragile nature of coral reefs rom his scuba diving but also through his experiences having his own saltwater aquariums. These are self contained mini reef ecosystems which display all of the characteristics of the oceans' reefs. Countless species of living coral can grow, thrive, and multiply just like in the oceans and create a natural home for fish and invertebrates.
In a home marine aquarium each and every parameter can be closely monitored in real time and trends can be observed and graphed. These important water parameters are things such as temperature, pH, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, and waste products.
Even tidal flows and surges can be created and measured. In a closed aquarium system, with delicate living corals, fish, and invertebrates immediate corrective action can avert disaster when one of these parameters begins to change too much. At this time we are facing a situation where permanent long term damage will occur unless corrective thinking and action happens immediately. Even a change of 2 degrees of water temperature starts to negatively affect the coral's health and can cause the delicate living coral to loose its colour and start to die. This can begin a negative cascading effect of the entire reef system and its numerous inhabitants that call it home. The health of a coral reef has a direct measurable impact on the health of our planet and each of its inhabitants, including us.
