    It’s believed half of all produced oxygen is done by sea and whale poop is incredibly important for providing nutrients to the surface to help this process.

      Man if the whales die out, entire countries are going to have to take turns to shit in the ocean.

    Phytoplankton is photosynthetic. It would be more accurate to say that it is fertilised by whale poop.

      Still consuming it; so just “feeding” it in a different sense.
