Description

It was an amazing sight of seawater with two different colours which seemed to change at a certain boundary, giving a sense of two different water bodies.
I could just photograph this effect course by bloom of Coccolithophorids at North Head lookout, Sydney, Australia forever, its so pretty ! And I only seen it once in my life, glad I got to photographed it !
Phytoplankton have evolved over hundreds of millions of years, interacting with physics, chemistry, and neighboring organisms to produce a great diversity of morphological groups and life forms. This polyphyletic group of aquatic organisms includes nearly 25,000 morphologically defined species. Coccolithophores are not normally harmful to other marine life in the ocean. The nutrient-poor conditions that allow the coccolithophores to exist will often kill off much of the larger phytoplankton. Many of the smaller fish and zooplankton that eat normal phytoplankton also feast on the coccolithophores. In nutrient-poor areas where other phytoplankton are scarce, the coccolithophores are a welcome source of nutrition.
Other studies indicate that some species actually thrive in lower oceanic pH conditions, which reveals that research in the area of biological responses to global climate change is barely in its beginnings, especially with respect to the evolutionary responses of marine organism.
