Tara Ocean Foundation director Romain Trouble told a press conference.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Within 18 months to two years we will start to have the first discoveries from the mission,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>At the base of the food chain, micro-organisms were the &#8220;invisible people of the sea&#8221;, accounting for two-thirds of marine biomass, said Trouble.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They capture atmospheric CO<sub>2<\/sub> (carbon dioxide) and supply half of the oxygen we breathe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trouble said the mission sought to find out how it all works.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How do all these marine viruses, bacteria, micro-algue manage to interact to produce oxygen?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And how will that change tomorrow with climate change and pollution?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Tara team paid particular attention to the impact on the oceans of the River Amazon, which has a water flow rate of 200 million litres (53 million gallons) per second.<\/p>\n<p>They wanted to test a theory that deforestation and the spread of agriculture has increased nitrate fertiliser discharge, leading to an abundance of toxic algae along river banks and coasts, particularly in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-month odyssey also sought to trace the sources of plastic pollution at river mouths, to understand distribution and the types of material involved.<\/p>\n<p>The mission was Tara&#8217;s 12th global journey and involved 42 research institutions around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Next spring, Tara sets off to research chemical pollution off European coasts.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            Scientists to scour African waters to gauge ocean pollution\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 AFP<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Scientists scour global waters testing ocean plankton and pollution (2022, October 15)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 16 October 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/phys.org\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-10-scientists-scour-global-ocean-plankton.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
