Carbon Fixation in Aquatic Environments

In marine ecosystems, carbon fixation is a vital process that contributes to climate regulation:

Role of Phytoplankton

Phytoplankton are the primary carbon fixers in oceans. Like their terrestrial counterparts, they use photosynthesis to convert CO₂ into organic matter. 

Importance of Healthy Oceans

Healthy oceans are crucial in mitigating climate change. Carbon fixed by phytoplankton and other marine organisms helps to reduce CO₂ levels in the atmosphere.
