All About Sea Ice: Phytoplankton
Fact sheet about phytoplankton, which "consist mostly of algae and bacteria and are the foundation of the marine food chain." Includes a description of phytoplankton "blooms," which "occur in the surface water each spring, when sunlight easily penetrates the water and provides the energy needed for rapid phytoplankton population growth." Accompanied by images and related links. From the National Snow and Ice Data Center, University of Colorado, Boulder.
