The sea hides many mysteries and fascinating creatures that sometimes seem to come from another world. One of these intriguing creatures is the salp. At first glance, they may seem strange and unusual, but in fact they are completely harmless organisms to humans.
Salps are marine creatures that move thanks to rhythmic body contractions, filtering the water and feeding mainly on microscopic algae. A very interesting aspect of them is the fact that these creatures are colonial organisms; in fact, they are made up of several united individuals that function as a whole. Their transparent body serves as a natural protection, making them almost invisible to marine predators.

Despite their unusual appearance, salps not only pose no threat to humans, but their presence is often a sign of a healthy and clean marine ecosystem. This is because these creatures live mainly in clean waters, serving marine biologists and researchers as a natural indicator of water quality.
A recent video released today, showing a salp found on the beach of Ploče, near Budva in Montenegro, reminds us once again that the sea is full of treasures waiting to be discovered. A miracle like this, shared on social networks, including Instagram, helps raise public awareness of the richness and importance of marine biodiversity.
Let's continue to explore and respect the sea, because every creature, no matter how strange it may seem, has its role and importance in maintaining the balance of nature./ Pamphlet
