What lies beneath?

Tranquility Bay was not too tranquil at the surface yesterday , but what goes on beneath? The National Marine Aquarium, in Plymouth is featured in a T.V programme. Our watery neighbours serendipitously revealed on television.

Secrets of The Aquarium

There is a tank dedicated to the waters of Plymouth Sound so it is possible to see who else is in the water when we bob.

We never see Starfish unless a deceased one washes up on the beach but we do see and occasionally feel the remnants of jelly fish.

There is something peaceful about these bobbing neighbours of ours. They quietly go about their day while the bobbers excitedly swim about just above their watery realm. We tend to imagine bigger more troublesome things. The trouble is, of course, more in our imagination than in reality. We invade their world noisily and with a lot of splashing, quietly observed by sea creatures going about their lives with far less fuss.
