🌍💙 Happy International Coccolithophore Day! 💙🌍 Today, Oct 10, we celebrate tiny ocean builders that capture CO₂, shape marine ecosystems & keep our climate in balance. When Cocco talks, climate walks. #CoccolithophoreDay #OceanClimate #InvisibleHeroes #OceanGuardians #ClimateWarriors #protistsonsky

🚗💨 New research reveals #TyreParticles are both eaten by – and cling to – tiny estuarine animals. These particles can make up 73% of #microplastics in such habitats. Led by PhD researcher Charlotte Woodhouse (@charlwoodhouse.bsky.social) at PML & Exeter University. 🔗 pml.ac.uk/news/micropl...
