While krill have been spotted thousands of feet deep on the #seafloor, they also come up to the surface of the water to feed on #algae that absorb #CarbonDioxide.
Please sign this #petition to call for the protection of #NACES#seafloor. This haven on the high #seas is visited by over 5 million #seabirds, but also #turtles, #sharks, and #whales! If the seafloor isn’t protected, they are all at risk! 🌊
"Using satellite measurements of its surface, researchers found that #Petermann has been bouncing up and down, dramatically shifting its #seafloor moorings in response to the tides. All this movement has carved a large cavern at the base of the #glacier and allowed warm water to regularly stretch beneath it. As the glacier lifts and migrates, the water can rush in for over a mile, thinning the ice by as much a 250 feet a year in some places."
