The picture was very blurry, but he could tell it had been taken from far away.
It was called a Sea Forest because there was no land in the photograph-or rather, the land was below the surface.
Combined with its ability to move, Yang Yi had reason to suspect that this thing was a Rotting Whale, but its size was difficult to judge. He would have to ask the person who had seen it.

Yang Yi did not keep waiting. He glanced at the World Sea Chart to check the coordinates.
He was roughly four days away from the coordinates of the island previously discovered in the Abundant Sea.
When the time came, he could save a scan to check the surrounding area.
