Whale Poo Part 2

When there ? s lots of available , it creates the perfect growing conditions for phytoplankton
and they begin to reproduce at a much greater rate . have observed that phytoplankton
can double their numbers in a single day and create huge turquoise swirls in the water , called
blooms . These drift near the surface of the ocean and are often visible from space .
Iron is an essential required for photosynthesis . When there are large blooms of
phytoplankton they begin to photosynthesize , converting tons of sugar out of CO2 and water . In
the process they absorb lots of dissolved CO2 which has ended up in the ocean from the air .
If the don ? t get eaten by other sea animals , they eventually die and sink to the
bottom of the ocean , taking the carbon part of CO2 with them . These carbon deposits can
remain there for thousands of years . The deep oceans become a vast carbon sink that traps and
stores this excess carbon from the atmosphere . Phytoplankton capture an estimated 40% of all
the CO2 produced , four times the amount captured by the Amazon rainforest !
But wait , there ? s more . Whales are vitally important for nutrient recycling in the ocean , both
vertically ( from the depths to the surface ) and horizontally ( migration ) . Whales undertake some
of the migrations of all mammals . They travel through the year to different parts of the
ocean to feed , breed , give birth to and nurse their young .
Grey whales , for instance , migrate 16 000km between feeding and calving areas and back
every year . New Zealand is about 1600km long , so grey whales travel ten times this distance
and back ! As whales migrate they carry and excrete ocean fertiliser in the form of their iron -
rich runny poo from places in the ocean that have good nutrient supply , to places that need it .
They ? re like ocean crop dusters !
When whales die , it ? s called ? whale fall ? . As their sink , not only do they provide
meals for up to four hundred other species , but they carry huge amounts of carbon which
descends to the seabed with them . This carbon is also trapped and held in the carbon sink . It ? s
estimated that whale carcasses transport around 190 000 tons of carbon to the deep ocean
when they die , which is the same amount of carbon produced by 80 000 vehicles each year .
When whaling was at its peak , so many whale carcasses were removed from the ocean that it
likely changed the weight and distribution of whale falls . As a result this probably led to the
extinction of a number of species that were reliant on whale carcasses for survival .
So let ? s think this through . Global warming and climate change are huge issues in the world
today , right ? What if we not only kept whales in the but protected them and their
habitats so they can continue to feed and breed which will increase their numbers ? It ? s not
like the ocean is going to run out of room any time soon ! ( Remember whales keep the ocean
balanced and stable and therefore support healthy fisheries . )
More whales in the ocean would equal more whale . More whale poo would equal more
phytoplankton blooms , which would equal more photosynthesis . An increase in photosynthesis would
mean more carbon could be captured and removed from our atmosphere . More whales would also
imply more whale fall and more carbon stored in the carbon sink at the bottom of the ocean .
Follow this new science and knowledge to its logical conclusion . . .
WHALE POO COULD HELP SAVE THE !
