In a year, one large parrotfish can produce 1,000 pounds (450 kg) of sand, the weight of a baby grand piano.

Most of the sand comes from waves sloshing onto rocks though, right? right?

most of the sand is eroded inland and deposited by rivers

I had never thought about the reproductive cycles of grand pianos, fascinating
