We don't know what makes them thrive.

We don't know what supports this community or these others.

And that has consequences on all the food chains.

I mean, today there's the whales, and we are so concerned about the whales, and no one cares about what feeds them, but we are so concerned about the whales, but the whales are starving more than anything.

I mean, overfishing is not the biggest of their concern.

Their biggest concern is starving.

I mean, they don't have food anymore.

So we need to understand that, and we need to learn how to cultivate plankton in the future, indeed, so we can create a balance in our ecosystem.

If we understand plankton, then we will understand the entire biology of our planet, and we'll be able to repair and heal the planet, which makes sense, because if you think about it, I mean...

Over the last 4 billion years of life on Earth, life has started 4 billion years ago.

3.5 billion years are purely plankton in the ocean.

And then life goes in the continent and so forth over the last 500 million years only.

It's like an epiphenomenon.

So the basis of everything and 90% of the history of life on Earth is in the ocean and it's plankton.

So if you want to repair something,

I mean, you don't start with the roof, you start with the foundation.

And the foundation of life is plankton.

So let's look at it.

If we want to create the right balance and the right equilibrium for our planet and repair our planet and reconnect the cycle together so it works again.

What's the main function of phytoplankton?
