Portuguese Man of War
The portuguese man of war is not a jellyfish as much as it may appear to be one. It is a colony of zooids that create an organism, more closely related to coral. I am very interested in ecosystems, and this particular creature was intriguing to me. The man-o-war is a symbol to me of the interconnectedness of the ocean, this piece at once resembles the living creature but also a plastic bag which pollutes the ocean.![](https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5f7ffd42f2db20cad5811ca1e666a087afaf8a7f82e8d1bec907a5925166b577/Man-o-war-copy.jpg)
