Dig into what makes whale poop so vitally important to ocean health, and how it helps support countless other marine life forms.

--

Whales frequently surface to take in air and let out massive plumes of waste. And while this slurry might seem disgusting, whale poop is much more desirable than it may seem. In fact, it may be one of the most important substances in the ocean — and the world. So, what makes whale poop so vital to our ecosystems? David Biello shares the surprising benefits of whale excrement.

Lesson by David Biello, directed by Joseph Clark, Oh Studio.
