Oh and when I say drifts I mean DRIFTS. Dunes. Flotillas. You can't help but step in/on them and they're very slippery. #velella #marinelife

Neuston, we have a problem: why do we know so little about the creatures floating on the #ocean surface? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jun/30/neuston-sea-creatures-ocean-surface-science-study
"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."

🌊 https://thekidshouldseethis.com/post/a-mola-mola-eats-sailing-velella-off-the-coast-of-newport-beach
Known for its peculiar disk-shape and gentle demeanor, a large #Molamola #oceansunfish glides below the water’s surface, turning slightly sideways towards the sunlight.
Above water, dozens of small translucent #Velella float gracefully on the rolling waves. Their rigid sail-like appendages, in shades of blue, purple, and silver, catch the breeze, propelling them to destinations unknown.
One is about to eat the other.
