Question

A deep water island of marine debris is located directly in the migratory path of a pod of humpback whales. How would this affect the carrying capacity of this population of humpback whales?

Answer 1

The carrying capacity of a biological organism in the surrounding refers to the maximum size of the population of the organism that the environment can maintain indeterminately, given the habitat, food, water, and other essential requirements in the environment.  

When a deep water island of marine debris is situated directly in the migratory path of a pod of humpback whales, then the carrying capacity for the region would be negotiated and the populations of whale will suffer.
