Whale’s-Service to Ocean Ecosystem
Would you come for a sail at my back friend said, dear whale,
Of course! I will come for ride, dear whale,
Indirectly, trees capture carbon in the ecosystem, terrestrial,
How do you capture #carbon in the# ecosystem ocean, dear whale?
I hope you are comfortable with my,
Back, dear friend, said dear whale.
See, I am not consuming #carbon dioxide.
But I do facilitate #carbon absorption, said dear whale,
How do you go about doing this task, difficult dear whale?
See, I am diving down with my movements,
I push nutrients from the bottom,
From the ocean to the surface,
Where I feed marine flora that suck in carbon,
This is my first important service to the ocean system,
In #reducing carbon in the ocean ecosystem, said dear whale.
Now friend, we are deep down in ocean said the dear whale
See my friend, this is my(whale) excrement-poo,
My #poo contains iron and nitrogen,
And act as a fertiliser for phytoplankton,
A microscopic creatures that live at the surface ocean,
And capture carbon and release oxygen.
The process is known as the “whale pump”, dear friend,
This is my second important service to the ocean system,
In reducing carbon in the ocean ecosystem, said the dear whale.
I hope you are comfortable on my back friend said the dear whale.
I (whale) can store a vast amount of carbon,
Over the course of my life that may last 100+ years,
When I (whale -animal) will die,
I will sink to the sea-bed,
#‘locking-in’ this large carbon store,
In the ocean ecosystem for centuries.
This will be my third service to the ocean system,
In reducing carbon in the ocean, #ecosystem said Dear whale.
My wonderful visit in the ocean ecosystem,
It was so much fun than a regular visit to
Zoo in a terrestrial ecosystem,
I thanked dear whale for making me comfortable,
And educating me during the back ride in the ocean ecosystem.
