The title: Underwater Astonishments
Presenter of the talk: David Gallo
Summary
Underwater astonishment is not about any other ocean-TED Talks. Gallo uses underwater astonishment as research in the ocean to help people understand the phenomenal creatures of the sea. The talk stretches our knowledge beyond the color changing cuttlefish to a perfectly changing and camouflaged octopus which in turn, helps viewers and listeners understand life in the blackest depths under the water. From the images Mr. Gallo makes, it is clear that biological oceanographers are now studying different forms of oceanic life including microscopic animals and plants. Displaying the image of camouflaged octopus further shows that biological oceanographers are now focusing on oceanic processes and how life in the ocean interacts and influences each other.
Gallo provides evidence that there are lives under the water that the human race is yet to discover. Illustrating animals concealed with sea rocks and algae further show that only three to four percent of marine specifies have been revealed. The talk agrees that while man has managed to discover the deepest valley on earth and even the highest mountain, s/he is yet to discover different lives under the ocean. A possible lesson is that in as much as oceanographers have dedicated their efforts to understand oceanic life, there is a lack of succinct understanding of phenomena and processes that support oceanic life.

The video helps humanity relate their lives to the world of the ocean and sea and that to a more significant extent, the creatures the speaker shows are not only beautiful but are related to us. Specifically, the male cuttlefish in the video shows how a man has an aggressive side to a woman when charged or disappointed. He is a speaker who helps humanity appreciate oceanic and sea life.
