Need to get absolved of a whale corpse? Try composting it

If we need to dispose of a enormous whale corpse, dual Dalhousie University professors can tell we only what to do.

Dalhousie sea biologist Chris Harvey-Clark wondered how he’d get a strength off a 12-metre right whale and a 20-metre blue whale.

“I knew zero whatsoever about large-scale credentials of skeletons,” he says.

He called Gordon Price, who’s with a well-named Innovative Waste Management Research Program during a university’s dialect of engineering.

“He loves a challenge, so when we said, ‘Hey Gordon, let’s compost a whale,’ he said, ‘Yeah, let’s do that,'” Harvey-Clark says.

The sea biologist pleasantly offering to penetrate a strength off a whales to get down to a bone. Price wasn’t carrying it. “He pronounced that’s no fun — let’s do a whole thing.”
