When I worked at Scripps Institution, Nacho (PhD student) showed me the effects of sea birds on marine ecosystem. I can't remember exactly but his study was very unique. The birds we see everyday is an important part of foodweb because it feeds on fish, crab, and clam. Also, birds may supply nutrients on the surface again by excretion which phytoplankton and bacteria can take up.
Today, for the first time, I seriously think that we all need to appreciate the friends and provide more protection after i met this bird. The bird was still alive with a heavy fishing weight in its mouth. There was nothing i can do much because i couldn't find a hook. The bird swallows the hook. Emm, i don't think I can go fishing anymore.
Rest in peace.
