The hidden heroes of the ocean, exploring phytoplankton

The video explores the unseen world of microscopic life in the ocean, focusing on phytoplankton. It highlights their crucial role in producing over half of the Earth's oxygen. The video delves into two types of phytoplankton: cocalithophores, which contribute to oxygen release and form the White Cliffs of Dover, and dinoflagellates, known for causing bioluminescent waters and harmful red tides. The content emphasizes the dual nature of phytoplankton as both life-giving and potentially dangerous.
