Marine Snow

‘Tis the season to talk about marine snow! ❄️ Named for its resemblence of falling snow, ‘marine snow’ is an essential part of all ocean ecosystems. Marine snow is decaying organic matter that continuously falls from the surface to the deep-sea, supporting food chains along the way. Marine snow is also an important component of the global carbon cycle! #waterlust #marine #snow #marineecology #ecosystem #oceanlife #carboncycle #underwater #marinelife #marinebiology #ecology #marinescience #ocean
