  1. Neuston, we have a problem: why do we know so little about the creatures floating on the #ocean surface? theguardian.com/environment/ar

    "Known collectively as the #neuston, these creatures are not tied to any one place. Instead, they move with the wind and the water. Sometimes they gather into huge drifts, living islands of #velella and #bluebottles... At other times they clump together around drifting debris or spread out sparsely over hundreds or even thousands of square kilometres."

    "The presence of a gelatinous surface microlayer film had been proposed in 1983, based partly on observations of the slick associated with blooms in the #SargassoSea of the filamentous #cyanobacteria #Trichodesmium... What about the ocean surface film from the #microbial neustonian point of view? It might appear to be an immense #biofilm stretching from horizon to horizon... Estimates of its thickness range from 1 to 50 µm"
