This project is based on the researches and the principles of biomimetics in the examination of nature in order to solve human’ problems. Nekton refers to the aggregate of actively swimming aquatic organisms able to move independently of water currents. Nekton can be contrasted with plankton which refers to the aggregate of passively floating. Sound by Lukas T. Velvet
