- Happy #DeepDay for those who celebrate. Take a few seconds and glide through marine snow in the aphotic zone. It consists of organic matter (yes also 🐟💩) and inorganic particles. It provides nutrients to the deep sea and is crucial for pumping CO₂ from the surface into the oceans‘ depths. 1/2May 7, 2025 16:36
- With the help of this biological pump the ocean has taken up ∼30% of our CO₂ emissions. Priced at the rate the IPCC recommends to limit warming to 1.5°C, this adds up to over $1.9 trillion worth of emission reductions accomplished naturally by the ocean every year. www.csiro.au/en/news/All/... 2/2
