FjordPhyto Is A Collaborative Project Between Scientists At Scripps Institution Of Oceanography And Universidad Nacional De La Plata Working Together With Antarctic Tour Operators, Polar Guides, And Travelers Visiting The Antarctic Peninsula. Every Year, Ocean Measurements And Phytoplankton Samples Are Collected From The Antarctic Coast To Monitor How Melting Glaciers Influence Phytoplankton Populations. With the help of polar travelers, FjordPhyto focuses on monitoring changes in fjord phytoplankton communities week-to-week, month-to-month, and year-to-year while providing impactful and engaging polar science engagement opportunities.
