Salps

Swarms of jelly fish like creatures called Salp come to the surface of the oceans every night to eat algae that absorbs carbon. They consume 4000 tons of carbon every night, then go back to the bottom of the ocean.



WOW, just, WOW !!!



Information from the BBC program "Swarm, Nature's Incredible Invasions". Have a look for it on the BBCi player if you get the chance, well worth the watch. Oh and narrated by David Tennant, I know there's a few of you out there who swoon over anything he says.
