Bonjour,

#PassagereClandestine / #predatrice
Lors de l'échouage massif de vélelles en novembre dernier, j'ai observé plusieurs duos janthine pâle + vélelle comme celui-ci. La croisière à la voile de vélelle a mal fini pour la janthine pâle

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."
