A Bloom in a Changing Barents Sea
https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/151667/a-bloom-in-a-changing-barents-sea #protists #algae"The #BarentsSea usually has 2 major bloom seasons, with #diatoms peaking in May, June, then giving way to #coccolithophores by August.

They observed large shifts in the location of summer #coccolithophore blooms to the northeast & an increasing presence of #Phaeocystis normally found in warmer waters"
