Why do whales matter in the fight to save our oceans?

These incredible animals are able to modify the environment around them and help:

• Minimise the effects of climate change.

• Support healthy commercial fisheries.

• Support thriving marine tourism industries.

In the Southern Ocean alone, the 12,000 or so sperm whales found there enrich the iron-poor waters with their poop, allowing phytoplankton to bloom and minimising the impacts of climate change. These sperm whales remove 200 000 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere each year!
