Long Story Shorts: How Does Fish Poop Keep Our World in Balance?
You might be asking yourself, What does fish poop have to do with the health of the ocean and our planet? Well, gross or not, that fish poop plays a big role in something called the carbon cycle. Watch this video to find out-then think about everything else that goes number two in the deep blue and you’ll see how all that poop can help keep the Earth in balance.
Hey, teachers! Here’s a cheat sheet of what’s included in this episode of Long Story Shorts:
• The carbon cycle and the ocean carbon cycle
• Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere being absorbed by the ocean
• How the ocean carbon cycle affects ocean temperatures, ocean acidification, and the frequency of storms and fires
• The ocean food chain and its link to the carbon cycle
• The role of fish poop in the ocean carbon cycle
• Phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish
This episode is part of our series Long Story Shorts-fun, quick explainers about all things coastal science!

    The moratorium only goes so far and Soviet Russia almost took them to Extinction for seemingly no reason as they had the resources that the whales provide in their nature yet.. this is fascinating, are whale bones a common ornament / collector item for those who live in this region where whale processing plants operated for decades? What was baleen used for commercially? I grew up in Hawaii and used to watch the humpbacks in the winter, terrific stuff

    Didn't notice any flies nor were the dissectionists gasping/heaving from the smell which I'm imagining as horrific. How does one work so proximate to such a stank? It died on the beach of your actual research station? What remarkable luck for you but not for the whale, looking forward to part two. If a member of the public finds whale bones are they protected?

      They are currently limited to upland disposal for green crabs. With special permits, they're able to share some crabs with researchers but the majority of the catch goes to the compost section of local landfills after they are euthanized by freezing.
