Phytoplankton are tiny photosynthetic organisms that form the basis of marine food webs and fisheries, contributing to the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide. This talk will be an overview of what phytoplankton are and how they function, where do we find them, and their importance for both marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
