I think it is adverb clause because of the word "hardly" which emphasises the ripple of the water
Okay so I might’ve just looked it up . So idk how reliable it is but.... “Santiago loves, respects and finds the creatures of the sea immensely beautiful” and I also got “friends small=pity men-of-war (jellyfish) and shovelnose shark=hate respects birds and the marlin”
So do what you will with that info, hope it helps.
