What animals are affected by upwelling?

The following marine animals are affected by upwelling:

  • Baleen whales
  • Penguins
  • Seals
  • Seabirds
  • Antarctic krill

Because the deep water brought to the surface is often rich in nutrients, coastal upwelling supports the growth of seaweed and plankton. These, in turn, provide food for fish, marine mammals, and birds
