Also described as “Drifters” or “Wanderers” Plankton are a group of organisms that rely on the winds, currents, and tides of the ocean to get from one place to another. Plankton are building the base level of the marine food web – but not only as a food source but also as a carbon sink the wellbeing of plankton is essential for a future of humanity.

The species of Discophaera Tubifer builds out beautiful – so called – coccoliths (scales of calcium carbonate) which act as model for this creation. These Coccoliths are also the primary component of the White cliffs to be found in Dover, England or Rügen, Germany.
