The Ocean Drifters... via the loggerhead's tale
|
Q- When is a video on ocean drifters not a video on ocean drifters?
A- When it is a video on loggerhead sea turtles.
This is not entirely correct, but close. Ocean Drifters is about organisms... large and small, shallow and deep, that live in our oceans as opposed to the nearshore environments. You follow a newly hatched loggerhead as she emerges from the sand, races for the ocean, goes through a day of frenzied swimming, and settles back for a year of drifting in the ocean gyres.
The story switches back and forth between the loggerhead and jellyfish, snails, fish, and the strange organisms that live in the deep oceans. It discusses ocean management challenges: trash, chemical spills, and discarded fishing nets.
As we look for life on distance worlds, we shouldn't forget the mystery and diversity of life that exists in our oceans... the ocean drifters. |
