I was remembering the little mermaid movie and I thought of something
If I'm not mistaken, in the live action movie Ariel doesn't sign a paper contract (because she's under the sea) and I remember somewhere it was mentioned that in the Coral Sea merfolk write on shells
So I got to thinking... Could it be that in Coral Sea, Azul's contract was made of shells? Or maybe a blood deal like the live action?
Maybe I'm just wrong idk

Nautilus are a large swimming marine molluscs restricted to a handful of species in the family Nautilidae from around the Coral Triangle, a roughly triangular area in the tropical waters located between the Pacific and Indian oceans. They are conformes by two different groups, fuzzy nautilus (Allonautilus) and common nautilus (Nautilus) with nearly eleven species, as researchers have recently added three new nautilus species.
A previous work showed a difference in genomic along different populations, now a international team of researchers combined previous work with image analysis software,using pigmentantion, shape and total shell area of they data set, confirming the presence of three unnamed species, here as Nautilus samoaensis, Nautilus vanuatuensis and Nautilus vitiensis.
Tumblr media
According to researchers, nautilid shells implode at depths greater than 800 m and depth therefore acts as a biogeographical barrier separating these species.

-Where all Nautilus species distributed in the Coral Sea and the South Pacific.
According to researchers, all nautiluses  are regulated under appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). At the moment, no species of Nautilus or Allonautilus has been formally assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. All they face illegal trade. This study may provides a foundation for managers and other officials to begin to efficiently identify distinct species of nautilus shells that may come through as trade products.

Bleached corals ingest microplastics.
Studies have found that reef building corals ingest microplastics when exposed to temperatures above normal.
Tumblr media
Normally,corals rely on the photosynthetic algae on their surface to provide them with energy.
Tumblr media
When temperatures rise, the algae are expelled (bleaching) and most corals eventually die from starvation but some corals start feeding on zooplankton in the water column and in turn also take in microplastics.
So how is this a problem? Feeding on large amounts of microplastics can result in:
Bleaching
Reduced growth as energy reserves drop since plastic has no nutritive value
Reduced feeding on nutritious prey
Tissue necrosis( a coral disease that causes peeling of tissues and death)
Reduced mineralisation of coral skeletons thus reduced growth rates
With coral reefs already facing multiple stressors ; global climate change, ocean acidification and water pollution with a short period for recovery, microplastics could worsen the situation putting the survival of coral reefs at risk.

A Christmas letter from Jack
Tumblr media
__________,
I didn’t know that you were bluffing the whole time we went snowboarding. I really thought you knew how to do it properly. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised though, you are from the Coral Sea… Once you get the hang of it, I hope we can get to that race we never got to. That scarf I got for you I was shocked to know you bought me the same one. I don’t hate the idea of matching you though. I kinda like it. __________ thanks for making this holiday date special in more ways than one.
Jack Howl 
I’m also doing matchups you can find that here: 2 Lines & A Circle : Flavor of Love, Find Your Match~ (tumblr.com)

Half octopus mer
As mentioned before, Vanes is a half mer: His father was a human and his mother is an octopus mermaid.
He doesn't have a mer form and can't breathe underwater. However, he can stay underwater for almost 2 hours and can swim faster than an average human
Vanes is very strong physically and has a great grip strength
Tumblr media
(his strength started to show signs when he was a year and a few months old)
Vanes is currently not at his full potential due to poor eating habits
Vanes has some black/purple marks on his body, which he hides with long clothes
In addition to being able to stay under water for longer periods of time, Vanes' body is resistant to sea pressure
He is slower than a normal human and needs more hydration too
Vanes can endure colder temperatures, but he's more fragile in hot temperatures
Just like an octopus mer, Vanes is extremely flexible and has extensive control over his body
(He's ambidextrous)

1942 05 04 Battle of the Coral Sea - Robert Taylor
When Commander Weldon Hamilton, leading one of the Lexington's Dauntless squadrons, spotted the Shoho at 10.40 on the morning of May 4th 1942, the Japanese carrier's fate was sealed. Within minutes she was hit by the full force of the Lexington's dive bombers and torpedo aircraft, aided by the Yorktown's attack group. Smothered by a dozen bomb and seven torpedo hits, she was sunk within thirty minutes of the first sighting.
