How El Niño Impacts Marine Plant Life

The video explains how changes in ocean color, visible from space, indicate shifts in phytoplankton populations. These tiny marine plants form the base of the ocean food web. During El Nino events, warm waters disrupt nutrient supplies, leading to phytoplankton decline, affecting marine species and fisheries. NASA's satellite imagery helps us understand these dynamics and the importance of phytoplankton in Earth's ecosystem.
