2. From Weapons of War to Reefs of Life -- Nature's Unlikely Resilience

Absolutely fascinating. There's something profoundly symbolic about life thriving on relics of destruction. These V1 rockets were once instruments of terror, and now they’re serving as unexpected sanctuaries for marine ecosystems.

It’s a powerful reminder of nature’s adaptability — but also a warning. The fact that 1.6 million tons of unexploded munitions still lie in our oceans is deeply concerning. While it’s inspiring to see starfish and other organisms adapting, we can't ignore the long-term risks these munitions pose — from chemical leakage to accidental detonation.

This discovery is a call for deeper environmental monitoring and, ideally, a global conversation on how to safely manage these forgotten remnants of war. Meanwhile, I can’t help but marvel at how life always finds a way — even in the shadow of humanity’s darkest chapters.
