"I told them of the Bernakes (Barnacle Geese). For I told them that in our country were trees that bear a fruit that become birds flying, and those that fell in the water live, and they that fall on the earth die anon."
― The Travels of Sir John Mandeville, between 1357 and 1371

I had no idea there were Goose barnacles - and Barnacle geese. I had no idea people used to believe those geese actually came from these barnacles. Not knowing yet about bird migrations, people from the medieval period had to explain their annual reappearance on the sea shores of Europe. Since some barnacles had some resemblance with these geese and were often fixed on driftwood, that meant there were goose trees somewhere.

The myth of the barnacle geese coming from fruit trees was thus created. Those "fruits" were barnacles, opening when ripe to free the birds. I love mythology. It can reveal a lot of the culture in which a myth appears. In French, we still use "bernache" to name the geese. The etymology appears now much clearer! The barnacles I photographed are much smaller and are not of the goose species though. However... can't you see a little beak peeking ?

A beige-colored fish with orange lips pauses on an underwater reef. It has fine cross-hatched markings on its body and light-colored pectoral fins marbled with dark brown. Its surroundings are rocky and faintly pink in color.

Deep-sea species face severe sustainability challenges: These species are particularly vulnerable due to biological traits like late maturation, slow growth, long lifespans, and low natural mortality, making recovery from overfishing difficult. Shark populations continue to decline: The report warns of ongoing declines in shark stocks, largely due to overfishing and bycatch in other fisheries. 2/3 #overfishing #marinelife #SaveOurOceans

Reef in Lombok - Indonesia

All major temperate eel species, European (Anguilla anguilla), American (A. rostrata), and Japanese (A. japonica) are now endangered or critically endangered. Overfishing, especially of glass eels for aquaculture, has decimated wild stocks. Dams and hydropower turbines block essential migrations, causing up to 60% mortality in some rivers. This prevents juveniles from reaching nursery habitats and adults from spawning. 1/3 #marinelife #Saveourwildlife #protectwildlife
