海洋生物圈 / Marine Community

想象生活在复杂的海洋社会里。

在新的海洋政策保护之下,占优势的大白鲨越来越贪婪、霸道和强壮,而弱势的一群只分配到剩余的残渣。

一片肉块被切割成几份,大白鲨挑了所有最大的块头还理直气壮要以数量而非重量来分配。

小鱼询问新政策的公正力,大白鲨扬言不惜一切代价捍卫它的特权。

别无选择,小鱼们唯有离开领土找寻机会。我幸运地找到了一片珊瑚礁,不晓得会待多久。


Imagine living in a complex marine society.

The dominant big white shark is getting greedier, bullish and stronger under the protective new marine policy, while the minors are only fed with dregs.

The meat chunk is cut into several pieces, the big white shark picks the largest pieces but claiming it should be distributed by quantity not by weight.

The smaller fishes question the justification of the policy, the big white shark swears to defend its privilege by all means.

No choice, the smaller fishes have to swim away from their territory to seek other opportunities. I’m lucky to find a coral reef, but for how long I would stay, I couldn’t tell.
