Zooplankton from Science Research in the Arctic

A picture taken in a laboratory onboard the Arctic Sunrise shows a microscope image of zooplankton (calanus glacialis and pseudoclannus minutus), collected recently by UNCW scientists during the science research in the Fram Strait.

A group of five independent scientists from the University of North Carolina Wilmington are on board the Greenpeace ships Arctic Sunrise and Esperanza to conduct research on how melting sea ice affects marine wildlife in the Arctic and draw attention to the need for strong ocean sanctuaries.
