The Plankton Society

The Plankton Society is a community of scientists dedicated to studying plankton—tiny organisms that float in oceans and freshwater systems. These microscopic organisms are crucial to Earth's ecosystems because they make up a significant part of the food chain, produce oxygen, and influence climate patterns. The society promotes research, education, and collaboration to better understand plankton's diversity, roles, and responses to environmental changes. By advancing knowledge about plankton, they help address global issues like climate change, marine health, and biodiversity conservation, emphasizing the importance of these small organisms in sustaining life on Earth.
