"The death of a 3-meter-long whale in the South China sea can sustain numerous complex marine ecosystems."
As I read the report, I associated the four stages of the whale's fate with those of a woman's life. My inspiration came from a casual chat with my grandmother who grew up in a patriarchal era where she gave up her dream job as a high school math teacher to take care of household chores and raise my father while my grandfather works far away from home.
1. Mobile scavenger stage= teenage years
2. Enrichment-opportunist stage= marriage
3. Sulphophilic stage= pregnancy
4. Reef stage= old age
