ALT Happy to share that the completion of this wonderful science - art initiative. This mural aims to bring phytoplankton out of obscurity, anchoring them in public consciousness as vital agents of planetary health and climate stability. Ocean Drifters: The Invisible Forest By Joh Del This mural celebrates the hidden world of phytoplankton - tiny, single-celled organisms that drift in our oceans and sustain life on Earth. Though invisible to the naked eye, these microscopic plants use photosynthesis to produce roughly half of the planet’s oxygen. They also absorb vast amounts of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, helping to lessen the impacts of climate change. As the base of marine food webs, phytoplankton also support fish, marine mammals, and ultimately human food security. Their unseen beauty and essential role in regulating the planet's climate and ecosystems are brought to life here through vibrant forms and flowing patterns.
