BC1 Phytoplankton Rule!
Lisa Wolf, Executive Director, HOBBES Inc. (Hands-On Boat-Based Education & Science)
Phytoplankton are fascinating and beautiful in their own right, but also profoundly connected to some of the most important environmental issues facing the Earth today - in short, phytoplankton rule! This 3 hour workshop will include phytoplankton collection in the field, followed by training in identification of some common phytoplankton types using microscopes and keys. A PowerPoint presentation will describe the role of phytoplankton in the marine environment, focusing on red tides and harmful algal blooms. Workshop participants will come away with an appreciation for the significant role phytoplankton play in the marine environment.
