This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

Early Morning Fish Frenzy in Berlin
Berlin's Dom Aquaree complex housed a hotel, a museum, shops and restaurants. As an attraction, it had a 14 metre high, cylindrical aquarium, housing circa 1,500 exotic fish. Temperatures, in Berlin last night, were as low as -10 degrees Centigrade. The aquarium shattered, releasing the fish as well as one million litres of water (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/16/huge-cylindrical-aquarium-housing-1500-exotic-fish-bursts-in-berlin). Quite a lot of damage was caused and two people injured by flying glass splinters. Fortunately, the burst occurred in the early morning, when relatively few people were around. Obviously, large aquaria can be dangerous installations.
