Whales Helping Scientists With Information On The Planet
Please click on the link above to read an article entitled: "The science is in: save the whales, save the planet". This article discusses how crucial whales are to the survival of ALL life on the planet! Whales need our help,they are being slaughtered indiscriminately by some countries. From the article:
"It turns out that humpbacks contribute more nitrogen to the Gulf of Maine than all the local rivers combined, an estimated 23,000 tonnes, annually."
"In turn, these nutrients allow more phytoplankton to grow, which increases the food supply at the base of the marine food web, promoting bigger fisheries and higher abundance where whales occur in greater densities.
Clearly, it is erroneous to claim, as the three whaling countries tout, that whales compete with their commercial fisheries; rather, they enhance them."
Whales are crucial to the survival of marine ecosystems! We have to prevent their slaughter by selfish people who have no morals or values!
