Swimming sea cucumbers key to ocean carbon cycle, study finds
Original: New research reveals surprising link in ocean carbon cycle: swimming sea cucumbers
New research from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute points to swimming sea cucumbers as an unexpected factor in the ocean carbon cycle. The findings suggest these deep-sea animals, which can move through the water column, play a previously underappreciated role in how carbon is transported and stored in the ocean, with implications for understanding the ocean's capacity to buffer climate change.
Why now: Fresh research highlights a surprising role for a little-known deep-sea animal in climate-related carbon cycling.
