We would like to make WhaleCoin, a coin that is have real function in everyday life but above all to help save our oceans, cetaceans and our planet. We are officially the first MeMe token Protection of Whales and NFT System Charity.

The importance of whales

Whales occupy a place in the marine food web, thus contributing to the balance of the ecosystem. Once fed, these large mammals return insane amounts of nutrients to areas that lack them. On the way to their great migrations, for example. Unlike fish droppings, which sink to the bottom of the ocean, whale droppings, which are rich in iron and nitrogen, actually float on the surface, feeding phytoplankton. In turn, these algae take up some of the carbon from the atmosphere. The greenhouse gas is then carried to the bottom of the water when the algae die off.

This is how whales, whether on the surface or deeper, participate in carbon capture. By dumping fertilizer in the oceans. Remember that phytoplankton absorb about 37 billion tonnes per year, or about 40% of all the CO2 produced. This is equivalent to the amount of CO2 captured by 1.7 trillion trees. Given the importance of the process, a team of economists recently attempted to quantify the contribution of whales in the fight against global warming.

Save a Whale Save the Planet

Decimated over the last century, whale populations have started to recover in recent decades. In spite of everything, we are still far from being able to fully restore the past strengths. Given the role of these large mammals in the oceans, which so far has been underestimated, additional protective measures must therefore apply. On the one hand, because these animals are true wonders of nature. But also, incidentally, because they are real allies in our fight against climate change.
