Dreaming of a polar adventure? We planned your next vacation for you: Join FjordPhyto and help scientists unlock the secrets of the Antarctic fjords! Fjord Phyto collects data on phytoplankton species—tiny but mighty plants that support whales, seals, and penguins while producing more than half of Earth’s oxygen. As glaciers melt and alter these ecosystems, scientists need your help to document this crucial community. While aboard tour vessels exploring the Antarctic coast, you’ll actively contribute to cutting-edge research with experts from Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Universidad Nacional de La Plata. Don’t miss your chance to help protect this unique environment! Not going on a Trip to Antarctica? That's okay, you can submit wildlife photos from anywhere using iNaturalist. Your participation will count toward One Million Acts of Science, helping wildlife documentation efforts while connecting you with nature. You can also support this project by reading the blog (https://fjordphyto.ucsd.edu/blog/) or visiting their Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/fjordphyto) to learn about their work. You can even donate to their mission: https://crowdsurf.ucsd.edu/campaigns/citizen-science-microscopic-creatures-hold-the-key-to-the-future-1#/
