🐳You know we need bees, and you know we need trees, but did you know we need whales? The ocean is one of our planet’s lungs. It produces more oxygen and absorbs more carbon than all of Earth’s forests combined, and whales help it to flourish.

How did #HurricaneBeryl intensify so quickly?

The storm rapidly intensified from 110 km/h to 210 km/h (major hurricane strength) in 24 hours. Key factor: Unusually high ocean heat – water temps above 27°C (80°F) to depths over 55m (150ft). 🌊
