These microscopic workers keep our oceans thriving and our climate stable. They've earned their day.

Join the initiative by sharing this post and using #CoccolithophoreDay. Help us get recognition for the organisms that have been shaping Earth's climate since long before humans existed.

Why do they deserve recognition?

They capture CO2 and build ocean ecosystems. They're sensitive to climate change and when they falter, it's an early warning for our planet. Almost no one knows them, yet their impact is global.
