As GreenPolicy360 "Planet Citizens, Planet Scientists", we look at "tiny little ones", microscopic ocean life


"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


"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 Eukaryotes -- phytoplankton algae and marine plants

Marine plants -- Phytoplankton floating and 'blooming' and the 'Forests of the Seas' Kelp, and Seagrasses and more ...

Blue-Green Life -- Taking in carbon, reducing acidification, photosynthesizing across the oceans of the planet to produce life-enabling oxygen
