USA’s tiny plankton unlock deep ocean carbon sink

Discover how a groundbreaking method is harnessing the ocean’s tiniest heroes to fight climate change!

Researchers have found that by spraying clay dust over dying algae blooms, they can transform decaying organic matter into sticky, fast-sinking particles.

These particles are then consumed by plankton, which transport the carbon deep into the ocean during their daily migrations, effectively locking it away for millennia.

This innovative approach supercharges the natural biological pump, offering a sustainable, low-cost solution to enhance carbon sequestration and mitigate global warming.

Dive into our full article to learn how this clever twist on nature’s processes could revolutionize our efforts to stabilize the climate, protect marine ecosystems, and pave the way for a brighter, greener future.
