Since the beginning of October until this past week, we had frequent sightings of Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus), about 28 sightings. According to the IWC meeting held in Slovenia, research programs have shown that whales, like this deep divers, have an important role in perpetuating the cycle of nutrients from the deep sea and also, by releasing faecal plumes better known as “poop”, highly concentrated in nitrogen and iron which help reduce Greenhouse gases.
