The researchers' method diverts free-floating carbon into the marine food chain in the form of tiny sticky balls of clay and organic carbon called flocs (pictured) that are consumed by zooplankton ...

Fish and shrimp are full of tiny particles from clothing, packaging and other plastic products, that could affect our health.

A new study led by researchers at Dartmouth College proposes a method to enlist the help of immense populations of zooplankton in reducing atmospheric carbon. The plan is to convert CO2 into food that ...

A Dartmouth-led study proposes a new method for recruiting trillions of microscopic sea creatures called zooplankton in the fight against climate change by converting carbon into food the animals ...

reported. If the clay is added to the water at the end of a bloom, it bonds to carbon particulates and keeps them from entering the atmosphere. That's because microscopic zooplankton eat these flocs — ...
