Marine reveries 🐙 Video 1: Gently swaying arms of the spiny Brittle Star, unfurling to catch bits of food through those tentacle like arms. With every arm that gets snapped off, a new one slowly regenerates from the stump. Video 2: The guardians of a complex marine ecosystem ~ the majestic Giant Kelp. Swaying to the music of the ocean’s whims, below their canopy is a sea of red algae providing sanctuary for sea stars and flatfish. These dancing giants absorb astronomical amounts of carbon dioxide, shelter and provide sustenance for sea life and protect coastal communities from erosion. Video 3: A cavernous end to a rewarding pilgrimage, fractured and hyperreal. 🐡 #esselenterritory
