Wave's knowledge:
Krill consistst of very small animals that live in the sea. They are usually no bigger than your index finger. Yet they are important for life underwater.
Thanks for playing the Seamulation
You have now seen that less shipping, hunting, waste, fishing and fewer nets lead to an increase in whale numbers and therefore more whale poo! The poo Increases phytoplankton density, which means more CO2 is absorbed and more oxygen produced. Biodiversity therefore also increases. More shipping, yachts, waste, nets and fishing boats lead to the opposite scenario. Did you know that conservation also increases the total economic value of whales in the oceans?
