International Nannoplankton Association

The International Nannoplankton Association (INA) is a global organization dedicated to the study of tiny, single-celled algae called nannoplankton that float in the ocean. These microorganisms are important for understanding Earth's history, climate change, and marine ecosystems because their fossils help scientists date rocks and interpret past environmental conditions. The INA facilitates collaboration among researchers worldwide, promotes research, standardizes naming systems, and shares findings related to nannoplankton study, contributing valuable insights into both marine science and Earth’s geological past.
