Swimming sea cucumbers linked to ocean carbon cycle, research 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 a surprising player in the ocean carbon cycle. The deep-sea creatures, which can drift up through the water column, may help move carbon through ocean ecosystems in ways scientists had not fully accounted for, adding to understanding of how the sea regulates the planet's climate.
Why now: Fresh research from MBARI has just been published, drawing attention to an unexpected deep-sea finding about carbon cycling.
