Message definition (Climate change mitigation)
The recovery of whale populations can play a role in mitigation as [[whale]]s play a significant part in [[nutrient recycling]] in the ocean. This occurs through what is referred to as the [[whale pump]], where whales’ liquid feces stay at the surface of the ocean. [[Phytoplankton]] live near the surface of the ocean in order use sunlight to photosynthesize and rely on much of the carbon, nitrogen and iron of the feces. As the phytoplankton form the [[Primary production|base]] of the [[marine food chain]] this increases ocean biomass and thus the amount of carbon sequestrated in it.
