we stopped for about 20 minutes and watched a dead young Minke Whale being
eaten by a large White Shark, a very large adult Blue Shark (haven't seen a big
one in over a decade), and a smaller White Shark. There was a 21 ft. Wilson
commercial boat filming underwater with a Go Pro on a pole next to us. The
large female white shark did the usual investigating, rubbing, and pushing the
smaller vessel followed by eating - she would circle our 47 ft. vessel, then go
over to investigate the 21 ft. vessel.

Water absorbs strongly beyond about 700 nm, so the IR is cut offplants (and algae)
absorb strongly in the blue, producing a green peakfluorescence adds MORE light in
the red (~700 nm), and increases with increasing biomass.
