EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a sticky situation! These Common Goose Barnacles have taken their love for plastic to the next level, attaching themselves to a bait pot on the beautiful shores of Kimmeridge Bay. It seems like they've found a new home away from home, even in December! While it may seem odd to see these adult barnacles cozying up with litter, it's sadly becoming all too common along our coastlines. This photo serves as a reminder that marine pollution knows no boundaries and affects even the most fascinating creatures. But let's not dwell on the negative - instead, let's appreciate the resourcefulness of these crustaceans! They've turned an unfortunate circumstance into an opportunity for survival. Who knew that plastic could provide such prime real estate? So next time you visit Kimmeridge Bay or any other coastal paradise, keep your eyes peeled for these unique residents. The goose barnacle might just be hanging out by their favorite bait pot or exploring new horizons. Let this image serve as a gentle nudge towards responsible waste management and conservation efforts. After all, we wouldn't want our beloved seashores turning into garbage dumps for our aquatic friends!
