My opinion on this is, I think it's cool how, "one whale cadaver offers the same amount of nutrients that normally sinks from the surface to the seafloor in 2,000 years." This provides benefits for a numerous amount species. As it says in the article, " First the meat is eaten by for example sharks and hagfish, then tremendous amounts of various organisms come to feast on the skeleton." This is very important to the marine life. I believe a lot of these animals would have a lot less nutrients with out the whales cadavers.
