This video from Wired Science is fascinating. It shows the impact small jellyfish can have on our oceans. In the article, “Jellyfish Are the Dark Energy of the Oceans“, the author states that the fluid dynamics of swimming jellyfish and marine animals may stir Earth’s oceans with as much force as its wind and tides.
Called induced fluid drift, it involves the tendency of liquid to “stick” to a body as it moves through water — and a little bit of drift could add up quickly on a global scale. View the article.
This ties into the message in our children’s book, A Pirate’s Quest, and movie, The Riddle in a Bottle, that life on Earth is connected by moving water.
