Spring Has Sprung! …in the Ocean
Most marine life owes its existence to phytoplankton, tiny microscopic plants that "bloom" and drift in the sunlit oceans and form the basis of marine foodwebs. They also account for approximately half the air you breathe! Dr. Kay Bidle will discuss the amazing microbial world of phytoplankton and what they mean for the oxygen we breathe and the fish we eat. Professional development for teachers is available following the lecture. To learn more or register, please call 201.253.1322 or visit www.pulsetalks.org.
