An Ocean in Bloom

From the far reaches of space, NASA scientists aim to expand their knowledge of how our ocean, atmosphere, and ecosystems interact with one another through the launch of the PACE satellite. By identifying and examining harmful algal blooms around the world, PACE will inform communities ranging from local fishermen to large corporations on what is occurring in their backyard and beyond. From sea to space, the PACE satellite will take Earth’s pulse in astounding ways for decades to come.

If we can't terraform our own planet, we will never be able to do it to any other planet.

It's good to see earth scientists smiling.

NASA needs a sister organization NLWA, National Land and Water Administration. Science research is rarely wasted, misused maybe, but not wasted.

Gracias mil. Soy consciente del efecto de las algas y del fitoplancton. De su coloración y el daño que ocasiona tanto a los peces y a quienes dependen de su sustento, como a la salud de todos en general. En dos islas de Canada muy cercanas una de la otra, como en las islas del Caribe, en determinadas épocas del año. Para mi la investigación científica y los adelantos tecnológicos ( satélites y otros), son de un valor incalculable.

Lessons not learned, will be repeated

We eat each other, what else should we eat, if nothing else is left...

It's a little bit more than just problematic....
