Did you see species that benefits from their interaction?

Very nice images of Nan Madol. I am here now. They are still working to have it recognized by UNESCO. The need to cut back and kill the trees is real as they are destroying the walls with their roots. Breadfruit is considered to be very invasive as it sends out runners and sprouts up other places. I have met the king of Nan Madol and the surrounding area, who is the highest king of the island and he also want UNESCO involved.

I got a chance to check out Nan Madol about 15 years ago. One interesting note: Parts of it are 50 ft. below the surface. Gradual sinking over hundreds of years would make sense, except for the way that the underwater sections are connected to the above water sections as built. I highly recommend taking the trip for perspective. Pohnpei is stunning in itself.
