Note that you have to kill them :) I was looking for already dead animals.
This happened to me, but if you forget where to return to, relook over your map for the name "Tenebrous Caverns" near the centre of the map.....

Description
Have you ever smelled submarine fuel, {name}? It's nasty stuff. Unfortunately, we need to burn huge amounts of it to get the Verne to move, and it's both bad-smelling AND deadly to the local wildlife. We need to be more environmentally conscious. The sea creatures nearby have particularly oily flesh. Take this device up to Seabrush - just above this cave - and use it on the corpses of terrapins, remoras, and hammerhead sharks. Their oil might save the lives of hundreds of other sea creatures.

Before this quest
