An intertidal habitat for marine life constructed by the company Living Seawalls

Seawalls are causing intertidal habitats to vanish as ocean levels increase. But eco-entrepreneurs say artificial rockpools and crevices can save wildlife

“Species that inhabit the intertidal zone have evolved to live in that environment,” said Pip Moore, a professor of marine science at Newcastle University. These animals find the world’s rising temperatures very stressful, she says. “Lots of organisms use the natural heterogeneity in the rocky shore to hide away from those stresses – [but] a seawall or even a “riprap” boulder don’t have that complexity of habitat.”

Exactly how badly coastal wildlife is affected by coastal squeeze is not entirely clear, but scientists have found that structures such as Artecology’s Vertipools (above) show a “significantly greater” species richness when compared with a normal seawall after five years. One Bournemouth University team found species of crab, fish and periwinkle living in them that had been absent before.

Cotylorhiza tuberculata or Fried Egg Jellyfish

There are actually two species that are referred to as the Fried Egg Jellyfish. The one above is around the Mediterranean Sea and is usually about 20 cm (7.8 in) wide. They have short tentacles with a venom that has little to no effect on humans.

Under The Sea

Fish. They are friends, famously, and not food. And here on Tumblr, we like to celebrate our friends, no matter their natural habitat. So you can imagine our delight when, just this morning, we logged on to find an array of underwater pals decorating our collective dashboards. Though it remains to be said that though we are all huge fans of #sea life, we realize there is a whole lot more to the ocean's unknowable depths than just fishy folk. Big, small, silly, scary... there is a lot to cover here, so we will take a whistle-stop tour around all things living and under the sea.

There is endless fun, fascination, and fear to be found and studied in the ocean's vast, mysterious expanse, and poses the compelling question is it better to know, or better to be ignorant? But who says aquatic fear must be limited to the seas, anyway? After all, you haven't really lived until you've panic-swam out of the pool, on holiday, for the irrational certainty that somehow there is a shark trailing you at that very moment. A shark!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within this swimming pool!?
