For a week, we've been dropping hints. Today, you meet coccolithophores.

They've been working without recognition for millions of years, but now we are making things right.

🌊 Today, Oct 10 = the first International Coccolithophore Day!
These microscopic algae build calcium shells, fuel ocean life, and regulate Earth’s carbon.
Let’s give them the recognition they deserve!

Meet coccolithophores, tiny organisms shaping our climate by capturing CO2 and building ocean ecosystems.

They've worked for millions of years unrecognised. They've earned their day.

We're supporting a new bid to make #CoccolithophoreDay 10th Oct!
