Phytoplankton produce over 50% of Earth’s photosynthesis and support the entire marine food chain, but #ClimateChange is causing alarming declines. 🌿📉 Help scientists collect vital ocean data with the global @SecchiApp Study. Get involved: secchidisk.org/

12 years ago I started the SecchiDisk.org study to engage seafarers to collect data on the phytoplankton. Today, we start year 13. It is now the longest-running and most spatially, extensive marine citizen science study of the sea's most important life. Join everyone taking part and collect data for the Study. This is also a birthday appeal. The Study's independent growth has been achieved without any institutional funding. If you are a CEO or director of a company and you feel aligned with our goals in wanting to engage citizens in environmental science and life-long learning, please get in touch. Together, we can go so much further.

1) Do you love the ocean? Why not make a New Year's resolution to do some Citizen Science if you go to sea? In 2013, I created the SecchiDisk.org Cit Sci study for sailors, or any seafarer, to measure the phytoplankton. bbc.co.uk/news/education-215… (See 2)
