Researchers and engineers have developed and tested an innovative new system for sampling small planktonic larvae in coastal ocean waters and understanding their distribution. Traditionally, pumps and ...

This study included 12 sampling sites along the coast of Georgia, USA (Figure 1). The study sites were representative of two distinct estuaries, Sapelo Sound and Wassaw Sound. Typical of the South ...

Using samples from an almost century-old, ongoing survey of marine plankton, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine suggest that rising levels of manmade chemicals found ...

It's spring, the sun is shining and something is about to happen with the plankton in the cold waters of the Arctic Ocean. Long bright days and rising temperatures have awakened the phytoplankton. The ...

Unicellular planktonic organisms play a more important role in the marine ecosystem than previously thought. This was the conclusion drawn by marine scientists from France and the GEOMAR Helmholtz ...

A group of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) researchers and engineers have developed and tested an innovative new system for sampling small planktonic larvae in coastal ocean waters and ...

Autonomous underwater robots give marine scientists the opportunity to study what happens during an algae bloom in both time and space. Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, May 2022: It's spring, the sun is ...
