This post reminds me of the summer I spent peering over the edge of a a 12’x12’ wooden raft at the sunken universe of mussels hanging out on pieces of rope, nylon rope, conveyor belt and an old tire. The purpose: Learn what they like to grow on the most so they can be efficiently farmed as an underutilized source of protein. That of course never came to pass. We consume a lot more Gallus gallus domesticus than Mytilus edulis. But I enjoyed hanging over the edge of the raft.
as above so below
and vice versa
roused my appetite to go out in the wild
The fun part is this microcosm / macrocosm echo is in cities as well as untended ecosystems. Enjoy!

With you right there, Dan. Love those memories.
