Love this video. The drive to the ocean, seeing the bottle filled, all of it. I felt bad for the little organisms in the water as it started to dry up - but I'm assuming the increased salinity did them in. Loved the microscope footage and the gorgeous shot inside the cup itself. Thoroughly enjoyed this! ♥

I would have liked to see what happens if it was rehydrated. Those organisms have evolved in a location where drying out and then being rehydrated is fairly common. At least some of them must have developed survival mechanisms.

Fun thing to note is the lack of our most prevalent friend on this channel, fungus. While iirc there are some varieties of fungus that do live in marine habitats, they are in no way extremely prevalent, and in general this video really goes to show the power of salinity to combat microbial life. Very neat.

Make sure to fine-sift the rest you got in that bottle, boil it and let it dry on a tray. Foodgrade seasalt with all human-required elements: done. (recommend to mix thoroughly with zeolites every few minutes for half an hour to remove unwanted junk (no need to remove the zeolite after))

I got the impression out of your replies to other comments that the inclusion of the microscope footage was an afterthought. That explains why there was no microscope footage of the seawater at the start of Day 1. It would have been an interesting comparison. The whole video was fascinating. An educational 4mins and 38 secs!

You guys should look at evaporating ponds. They fill large, shallow ponds with salt water where it evaporates off and leave salt for commercial production. Of you've even had seasalt, it probably came from one of these.

I filmed it during the summer, it was about 25°C-30°C/77°F-86°F in the studio. At the end it slowed down, the temperature was also lower then, plus I think the higher salt content (since a lot of water evaporated) also slowed down the evaporation rate.

Driving over 5 hours and through 3 different countries to get to the seaside - wow 30 mins I can be in Blackpool from where I live ha but I suppose we are both lucky we don't have to drive for days to be by the sea like some people have to.
