An excerpt from the Oceanographic Magazine article reads:

Jade Cantrall, marine biologist working at Naturaliste Charters, one of the whale watching companies operating out of Bremer Bay, explains:

“The Bremer Bay sub-basin is a unique and biodiverse system that incorporates a chemical process and natural breakdown of methane hydrates.

That seep from the ocean floor, fuelling the complex system.”

Cold upwelling currents bring these nutrients into the first 200 metres of surface water, the photic zone, where photosynthetic phytoplankton can utilise these nutrients to photosynthesise.
