Inner Planetary Travel. On a reef in the undeveloped waters off North Carolina. The reef systems are fairly hardy, but not when tooth and fossil hunters silt them over in pursuit of their take. Some run what amount to unrestricted mining operations, and seem to have little concern with the damage they cause. Things work better out here when we pay attention to the environment.

Inner Planetary Travels. The topic tonight is worms. A Christmas Tree Worm casts a glorious net on the wreck of the Normania. The colourful radioles provide for both respiration and collecting a meal. All things out here are better when hydrated, not oiled.

Inner Planetary Travel. What a tangled web we weave. Apparently we are not the only creatures to tie ourselves in knots. The Basket Starfish wraps itself in a tight ball anchored to an available Sea Fan. With the onset of darkness, it will unravel and spread it's tentacles in the current to snag passing small creatures. It's better out here when things are hydrated not oiled.

Inner Planetary travel in the undeveloped waters of North Carolina. Two White Grunts discuss matters of individual space. The ledges off South East North Carolina are always better when hydrated, not oiled.

Inner Planetary Travels in the undeveloped waters off North Carolina. A black coral on the wreck of the John D Gill. It's better out here when things are hydrated, not oiled.

Inner Planetary Travel. Off the coast of North Carolina. Schools of Tomtate Grunts and Atlantic Silversides fill the waters above the wreck of the John D Gill. All things out here are better hydrated, not oiled.
