Synopsis:
Learn about the role of phytoplankton and never look at a pond, lake, or beach the same way again! Phytoplankton play a vital role in aquatic ecosystems and sequester carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. More than 50% of our oxygen comes from phytoplankton in the world’s oceans and lakes. Understanding the role of phytoplankton in aquatic ecosystems will help in advancing the solutions to problems facing today’s water resources, such as harmful algal blooms, eutrophication, pollution and climate change. Maximising phytoplankton growth and production could possibly be the solution for increasing carbon capture globally.
