Plankton are the Earth's Life Support System
- "Although tiny, these organisms are a vital part of the Earth's life support system, providing half of the oxygen generated each year on Earth by photosynthesis and lying at the base of marine food chains on which all other life in the ocean depends." - quote from article at environmentalresearchweb.org summarizing a 3-year plankton survey which covered ocean areas around the world.
