Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

So it's the same with plastic.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

I mean, plastic is a problem for some of the plankton.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

It benefits some others.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

If you take the jellyfish we were talking about, we know that we have a growing number of jellyfish in the ocean.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

I don't know if you heard, but some years ago we had another jellyfish, like 26 kilometers of jellyfish with eight meters thick who passed by a salmon farm and they destroyed everything.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea

Growing number of jellyfish in the ocean.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

We are going to an ocean of jellyfish because jellyfish, they are plankton.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

They are very, very basic animal.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea

And they benefit from everything we are doing.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea

So they love climate change because they are very resilient and they love warm waters.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

They love overfishing because overfishing kills their predator and their competitor.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

I mean, they love plastics because plastics and plastic bags will kill the turtle, which are their predators.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

And a turtle can eat up to 300 jellyfish a day.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

And even better, jellyfish, they will spawn their eggs on microplastics.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

Because of their flottability, it will enable their eggs to spread around the world.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

And jellyfish, they can spawn up to 19,000 eggs a day.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

So they are very, very prolific.

Futureproof with Jonathan McCrea
Extra: The Power of Plankton

And they can spread them around the world because of microplastics.
