Plankton Productivity

We study the interactions between the oceans and climate to provide information about basic productivity of the ocean and how this productivity provides food for fish (how much, where, when, why). In addition, we report on indicators of the "health" of the ocean ecosystem: its stability and fragility in the face of anthropogenic and natural changes.
