LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end, learners can:

  • Connect warmer water with lower dissolved oxygen.
  • Distinguish pollution targets from protected wildlife.
  • Describe how whale migration and the whale pump connect ocean habitats.
ONE OCEAN · CONNECTED SYSTEMS

A migration with a purpose.

Every expedition moves through habitats where food, temperature, oxygen, pollution, and marine life affect one another.

01

Cold feeding waters

Fuel up on krill or species-specific prey.

02

Warming current

Warm water can hold less dissolved oxygen.

03

Low-oxygen zone

The whale slows and the living ocean grows dim.

04

Open migration route

Clear debris without disturbing wildlife.

05

Tropical nursery

A healthy route gives young life room to grow.

See the ocean recover.

Low oxygen changes the water, movement, and wildlife around you. Clear pollution and the reef responds immediately with brighter coral, cleaner water, and returning marine life.

THE WHALE PUMP Dive, feed, surface, and help nutrients reach oxygen-making phytoplankton.

Four whales. Four ways to survive.

Species shape the environment, diet, animation, migration lesson, and whale-inspired game power.
