"A group of scientists have pumped 300 litres of artificial whale poo into the 
ocean off Sydney’s coast. The team, known as WhaleX, hope that the mix of 
nitrogen, phosphorous and trace elements could be used as a way to capture 
carbon. Whale poo is known as an ocean fertiliser and a food for phytoplankton. 
When phytoplankton grow and multiply, they absorb carbon. WhaleX are hoping to 
snag a share of Elon Musk’s US$100m prize for capturing and storing carbon."
