We found many white foam box fragments along the seaside. Additionally, we filmed dead fish on the beach and reflected on whether these pieces of trash might be related to the fish's death.

The Land of Azure

This is a documentary film that takes China's offshore as a stage, looks at marine ecology and resources, and understands the story of marine life from several perspectives, including seasons, currents, coastal wetlands, islands, bays, and survival challenges.

"Humans don't know as much about the deep sea as they do about the surface of Mars."

We believe that the ocean is the farm of coastal residents, but the crops on this farm are nurtured by the ocean rather than the land. We learned from hearsay that the early teaching buildings of Xiamen University were not built with cement concrete, but with marine shellfish as the building material. Workers burn them into lime for use in construction.

Are pearls fragile?

But the opposite is true...

Pearls are made from mussels or shellfish when a foreign object enters the mussel shell. Mussel shell will be stimulated, and continue to secrete layers of pearl to wrap the foreign body, with the accumulation of time, the formation of round translucent pearls.

Pearl is a natural art, but also a symbol of toughness, it begins with a small grit, external softness and internal toughness, so that it jumps out of the general jewelry, with artistic value.

On the right is Disney's animated film Voyages. On the left are the illustration created by the artist Kimura Naohiro. His works are all about Marine life, and the style is fresh and elegant. I think illustrations (or cartoons) about the ocean can help people better understand the knowledge of the ocean.

Seashell Collage Art: A Call for Marine Ecology

# data[].attributes.body
Through seashell collage art, the work showcases the beauty and fragility of marine ecology. Each seashell represents a natural element, symbolizing the habitat of marine life and the health of the ocean environment. The unique combination of seashells in terms of color and shape illustrates the harmony of marine creatures and ecosystems while conveying the importance of protecting marine ecology. The spiral form of the seashell symbolizes nature's cycles and regeneration, evoking a sense of responsibility for marine conservation. Through this art form, viewers not only experience the beauty of the ocean but also reflect on their relationship with nature, inspiring awareness and action for environmental protection.

Some of the ugly or funny-looking deep-sea fish are there because they have evolved their appearance to adapt to the extreme deep-sea high pressure, and their appearance has evolved more to suit specific survival needs.

Nevertheless, they really look funny...

We find that many shells stick together or to rocks, this is because when shellfish feel threatened they secrete mucus that binds small pieces of shell around them together to form a larger, stronger protective layer to bolster their defences.

The film depicts a new kind of ecology, in which Marine life merges with human waste to form Hybrids. While forced to adapt to new environments, these organisms also reveal the conflict between nature and human activities. With its unique design and delicate animation, the film warns the audience about the importance of ecological protection and resource management.🦈🚗🦀🥡

The transparency and fluorescence of Marine Mollusks are mainly adaptations to the dim environment. Transparency helps them avoid detection by predators, while fluorescence helps attract mates, confuse predators, or communicate and navigate in the dark. These traits enhance their survival and reproduction.

Some coral polyps have symbiotic relationships with yellow algae in their bodies. Coral provides reproductive space for Chlorella vulgaris, which provides photosynthetic products such as glucose and amino acids to coral polyps through photosynthesis.

The fluorescent proteins in coral polyps isolate excessive harmful blue ultraviolet spectral energy to protect themselves and the yellow algae. These fluorescent proteins can be excited to produce brilliant colors under blue purple light.

The sea butterfly (Limacina helicina), a pteropod mollusk, displaying a thin outer shell made transparent by increased acidity in Earth's oceans.

Ocean acidification refers to the gradual acidification of seawater due to the absorption and release of excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere by the ocean. Since the Industrial Revolution, the pH value of seawater has decreased by 0.1. The increase in acidity of seawater will alter the various chemical balances of seawater, posing a huge threat to various marine organisms and even ecosystems that rely on chemical environmental stability.

"Together till death," referring to glass sponges (Venus’ flower baskets), describes the phenomenon where a pair of shrimp live together within the sponge for life. This ecological occurrence is romanticized as a symbol of love and loyalty, embodying the idea of "mutual dependence." However, this interpretation is more a projection of human emotions and cultural meaning than a reflection of the natural state. The shrimp are trapped inside the sponge due to ecological constraints, yet this has been idealized as steadfast companionship, illustrating humanity's tendency to romanticize nature to fulfill psychological and cultural narratives.

About 3.8 billion years ago, when the Earth's land was still barren, life began to be nurtured in the oceans. After about 100 million years of evolution, the primitive cells in the oceans gradually evolved into primitive single-celled algae, which are probably the most primitive form of life. As the primitive single-celled algae reproduced and carried out photosynthesis, oxygen and carbon dioxide were produced, preparing the conditions for the evolution of life. This primitive single-celled algae went through billions of years of evolution again, producing primitive jellyfish, sponges, trilobites, nautilus, clams, corals, etc. Fish in the ocean appeared about 400 million years ago.
