About Blue Whales Facts
1 : Globally, more than 240 species of wildlife, including whales, are known to have swallowed plastic, which can lead to internal injuries and death. A recent study of Marine life found that flexible plastics such as plastic bags and packaging are the leading cause of litter death, with the main cause being stomach blockage. Whales are not the only species affected by plastic waste. According to the study's review of hundreds of scientific articles, the world's dolphins, turtles, seabirds and fish can't escape either.
2: Protecting whales is essential to protecting healthy oceans for all of us. They nourish Marine ecosystems and even help us combat the climate crisis - on average, a single whale absorbs the same amount of carbon in its lifetime as 1,000 trees.
