Pytoplankton are dropping in enormous numbers.

Within these articles were many facts that told us facts about how the phytoplankton and how they are being affected. What we learned was the phytoplankton population has been dropping "about 1%..a year". With this now known the major concern about these animals is the affect they will have on other species and the world its self. As we know they are a huge anti gas killer and with their population dropping so dramatically it brings to mind how much it will affect the global warming causes. many scientist also believe " the loss of phytoplankton is a huge problem for marine food chains.". This is now becoming a huge a problem because these small organisms are the beginning food chains that we all rely on.
