Phytoplankton fuel ocean life by feeding other plankton, fish, and ultimately bigger creatures. This video explores the diversity of phytoplankton in the oceans and shows why these plant-like organisms play such a crucial role in life on Earth. In some of the images, color-filtering techniques were used to draw out the fine details in the water, but the features are real.

Phytoplankton are microscopic organisms that form the base of the marine food web and about half of the oxygen on Earth. The concentration of their green pigment, chlorophyll, can be seen from space because it changes the color of the water. From measurements collected at sea and analyzed through microscopes, we know there are many of thousands of types of phytoplankton. Computer models combine observations from satellites and ships with physical forcing to estimate where diverse species live an

Phytoplankton are the base of the marine food web and are crucial players in the Earth's carbon cycle. The large phytoplankton (red, yellow) have fastest growth rates and dominate where there are lots of nutrients to nourish them at high latitudes and near the equator where nutrient-rich water upwells from the deep ocean. On the other hand, the small phytoplankton (green, blue) are more competitive where nutrients are very low. Read more about this model here: https://sos.noaa.gov/datasets/phyto
