Image of a tail, just before it disappears under the sea with the text: Whales continue to nourish marine life even after they die. Their carcasses support roughly 200 species and transport carbon to the deep sea. As their bodies sink, they deliver large amounts of carbon to the ocean floor, where it can remain stored for hundreds or even thousands of years.
