Yes the choice is to accept the reality that Nature needs change constantly. Anything perfect cannot exist as it is unstable and change is required to keep everything moving from earth to sun and moon. Imagine if they do not change and everything will collapse and everyone in mid air without gravity. .

This is known as sea foam, which forms when dissolved organic matter is agitated and mixed with air. It’s a fairly common phenomenon that has been reported in many locations. The recent cyclone and flooding likely created ideal conditions for its formation.

It is due to the rough seas and the water is getting churned. Then the form. Enjoy it like have a cool bear on the beach.
