TinyBlueGreen

"A single kind of blue-green algae in the ocean produces the oxygen in one of every five breaths we take"

~ from "The World Is Blue: How Our Fate and the Ocean’s Are One" by Sylvia Earle / National Geographic

"The Tiny Little Ones - Plankton"

"Ecosystems of the Sea"

It is estimated that marine plants produce between 70 and 80 percent of the oxygen in the atmosphere

Nearly all marine plants are single celled, photosynthetic plankton-algae

We Need Kelp, Seagrass and Lots of Blue-Green
