How Amy is a living carbon filter

Amy, the ocean giant, plays a huge role in regulating the planet’s carbon levels. Throughout her life, she stores carbon in her massive body, and when she dies, that carbon gets trapped in the ocean floor for centuries.

Plus, Amy’s movements help phytoplankton grow—tiny organisms responsible for half the world’s oxygen production. Amy is proof that even the largest creatures have a big part in fighting climate change.
