Chris and Peter A Frayed

Cuttlefish have crazy eyes. They have a w-shaped pupil and use their lenses completely different from mammals. Their eyes can even detect differences in polarisation. Instead of the lens changing shape, cuttlefish shift their lenses forwards or backwards to change focus. Cuttlefish can also spot a ghost nets which are a fishing nets that have been lost at sea, abandoned or discarded when they have become damaged. A seemingly harmless discarded fishing net, left to drift in the ocean can strangle a hapless sea life or harm coral reefs by breaking them and exposing them to disease. Ghost nets are also a major contributor to the ocean plastics crisis. Thank you Ian Patterson for providing an inspiration through your u/w photography to create this piece.
