Tiny things can have huge impacts, and in this case I support the idea of marking a day to raise awareness of the tiny coccolithophores that help make our world what it is. Protecting them is protecting ourselves.

h/t to Waterlust's weekly newsletter for bringing this to my attention.

Tiny Architects, Titanic Climate Impact: Scientists Call for October 10 to Become International Coccolithophore Day

Smaller than a speck of dust and shaped like tiny discs, coccolithophores are microscopic ocean organisms with a big climate job. They draw carbon out of seawater, help produce oxygen, and their calcite plates sink to form chalk and limestone that preserve Earth’s climate history. Today, five European research organisations launched an initiative to make 10 October International Coccolithophore Day, highlighting their crucial role in regulating the planet’s carbon balance, producing oxygen, and sustaining the ocean ecosystems that underpin all life.
