Fascinating article. I read somewhere that some of the nutrients brought to the surface by whales were then transferred far inland by salmon and then released by predation etc. This paper seems to bear that out https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07980-2

I love these connections too - big mountains to small phytos, big whales to small krill to big ships to small capsules for us to consume on a big scale. Everything is connected.

I also like to remind myself it is very hard for seagrass to catch on fire unlike land-based vegetation.
