Com este título, poderia estar aqui a tentar ser engraçadinha. Ou poderia estar a dar-me para a metáfora. Ou podia estar a fazer marketing, inventando novas funções para a cotonete, esse controverso objecto. Mas não. Estou apenas a dar um nome à coisa.
Seahorses hitch rides on the currents by grabbing floating objects such as seaweed with their delicate prehensile tails. Justin watched with delight as this tiny estuary seahorse ‘almost hopped’ from one bit of bouncing natural debris to the next, bobbing around near the surface on a reef near Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. But as the tide started to come in, the mood changed. The water contained more and more decidedly unnatural objects – mainly bits of plastic – and a film of sewage sludge covered the surface, all sluicing towards the shore.
