ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Proposed British Isles fixed sea link connections

Okay kiddo, you know how we can drive from one place to another on a road? Well, some people have a big idea to build a road under the sea! They want to connect some of the islands in the British Isles, which are a group of islands in Europe, with a big tunnel or a bridge.

You might be thinking, "how can we build a road under the sea? won't it get wet?" That's a great question! They will use a huge tunnel made of strong materials, like metal and concrete, to keep the water out.

This sea link connection will let people and cars travel from one island to another easily. It would be a bit like how we can cross a bridge over a river or a lake to get to the other side.

Some people are excited about this idea because it would make it easier for them to visit family and friends who live on different islands. Others are worried about the impact it could have on the environment and wildlife in the sea. But for now, it's just an idea that people are talking about, and it might be a long time before we actually see it happen.
