We continue to see the main underwater discovery, with positive and negative implications attached. On a positive note, we saw a research ship recovering hope, with the discovery of the coral so large that it could be seen from space, Size of five tennis courts.
On the other hand, we also saw negative discoveries. Among them is the issue located between Greenland and Iceland. Bob Pickart and his team realize that a While flowing in the opposite direction between Greenland and Iceland. Amoc collapse can be a disaster for the ocean, rising sea level, while temperatures are plummeting in Northern Europe.
We have another underwater discovery to announce, this one by Canadian robots. The news is very positive. This finding is one that cannot be detected on the water, without the help of a robot or research team. We will take a closer look at encouraging details, and what is meant for the ecosystem.

Canadian robots discover 346 million tonnes of phytoplankton
This is not an artifact discovery. Instead, it restores hope under the water. Defer Jason Deegan’s High Technology NewsThis finding is called “silent revolution” among marine biologists.
So what exactly is found, and what’s the size?
Canadian robots find phytoplankton. What is Phytoplankton? The Noaa Define them as growing -plants similar to “terrestrial plants because they contain chlorophyll and require sunlight to survive and grow.”
This plant is very important for the well -being of the ecosystem. 903 floating robots do not reveal just any of the phytoplankton, they form about 346 million tonnes, equivalent to 250 million heavy elephants.
These findings indeed encourage the role of phytoplankton given as the main climate regulator underwater. These findings also have implications for monitoring climate change – adding more data to battles that never end with climate change.
Breaking the interests of phytoplankton in the ocean
In a balanced ecosystem, phytoplankton plays an important role in providing food to various sea creatures.
Which includes:
The distribution of phytoplankton also depends on several factors.

Phytoplankton productivity depends on: |

|
Exposure |
|
The availability of nutrients |
|
Water temperature. |

Vertical mixing, upwelling, current, and tides. |

Zooplankton and shellfish also play a role. |
When growing conditions are ideal for phytoplankton, underwater species can benefit in the main way, allowing the population to jump downstairs.

Hazardous phytoplankton also exists in sea waters
On the other hand, the phytoplankton may also be dangerous if it is out of control. With too much nutrients available, it can form a dangerous algae bloom. Blooms can be toxic to fish, shells, birds, mammals and people.
Noaa warns“Excessive nutrients from septic systems and non-point pollution such as urban and agricultural running can lead to large eutrophic conditions and blossoming phytoplankton in this coastal area. Toxins are harmful to humans, fish, shells, marine mammals, and birds.”
Scientists continue to use technology to detect underwater habs – trying to minimize negative effects.
