The Ocean is our home, our playground, our office. It's where we race, explore, learn and dream. But beyond that, it is also the heart of our planet, producing much of the oxygen we breathe, regulating our climate and supporting life on Earth. Today, and every day, let's remember why protecting the Ocean matters. And who better than Sir David Attenborough to help us celebrate the blue heart of our planet? 🌍
During this dusk dive at Chesil Cove, UK we found this Mermaid's Pouch, containing a live baby shark/ray moving around. The round black shape is the embryo and you can see the tail of the shark moving around. This was filmed around 7pm and at approximately 10m depth. The pouch containing the young shark is a tough leathery material that has attached itself to this plant life. Shining a light behind the pouch creates a silhouette of the baby shark that can be seen from the other side. There was some surge during the dive, as can be seen by the rocking in the video. This movement was caused by the water conditions, we were very careful not to touch the plant or of course, the Mermaid's Pouch itself. Thanks for watching :)
