This would be both cool and terrifying at the same time, you're both apex predators but you're on their turf.

^ these guys are port and starboard! they are known as a killer whale duo for killing a bunch of sharks. you can identify them by looking at their dorsal fins. port’s dorsal fin collapses on the left and starboard’s dorsal fin collapses on the right.

fun fact: they had killed 17 sharks in ONE DAY…

look at these cute annoying fuckers

To support climate action we must protect the whales.

I’m always asked which area of marine I would like to go into for a career,

the answer is always and will always be cetacean behaviour and conservation.

Why?

Cetaceans, particularly the great whales, bring stability to our ever-changing climate.

When whales dive into the depths of the ocean, they then return to the surface water to breathe. Upon returning to the surface, whales release enormous faecal plumes, containing limiting but essential nutrients that stimulate the growth of phytoplankton.

Phytoplankton, an organism forming the basis of all, marine food, is essential for life on Earth. These microscopic organisms act as carbon fixers by sequestration carbon from the atmosphere to be utilised in their bodily structures. Reducing the number of phytoplankton is undeniably going to cause higher quantities of greenhouse gas emissions remaining in the atmosphere and as a result warming the climate.

Whales' defecation acts as a natural fertiliser in our oceans and is essential in the growth of phytoplankton thus combatting climate change.

Without whales, phytoplankton numbers will reduce meaning greenhouse gas emissions are no longer removed from the atmosphere through these carbon fixers. This creates an increasingly warmer climate, one uninhabitable and one that will impact ALL life on Earth.

Our future lies in our oceans, particularly baleen whales who store astonishing amounts of carbon throughout their 100-year lives. Even when these individuals die, the carbon remains locked in the dead body for centuries to come.

Whales face many threats.

Whaling and climate change are impacting their populations the most.

We must protect whale populations from the threats we have caused

Not only will it benefit whales, but it will benefit all marine life, terrestrial life and even us, humans.

Whales are not only incredible species but a natural solution to climate change one that deserves to be protected.

Keiko breaching in Iceland.

Keiko was a male orca captured in the Atlantic Ocean near Iceland in 1979. He portrayed Willy in the 1993 film “Free Willy”. In 1996, Warner Bros. and the International Marine Mammal Project collaborated to return Keiko to the wild.

After years of preparing Keiko for reintegration, Keiko was flown to Iceland in 1998 and in 2002, became the first captive orca to be fully released back into the ocean.

On 12 December 2003, he died of pneumonia in a bay in Norway at the age of 27.

"Anarcho-orcas"

Made this anti-yacht agitprop piece in support of orcas fucking up and sinking boats. Obviously the rich assholes are not happy and want to demonize this already endangered species further, so it's critical to root for orcas, whether they ram boats or not. Thankfully the orca rebellion is spreading.

P.S.: You don't necessarily have to be an orca to fuck up a boat ;)

Sink the Rich

[skyblaine]

There are a group of Orcas living in the Antarctic waters that are forced to use a tool (creating a wave that sweeps seals off small ice flows).

They do this by swimming in a group of three or four toward the target and under — that creates the right kind of wave. This is amazing to see.
