4Ocean Plankton Braided Bracelet

Plankton may not be the cutest or most charismatic ocean inhabitants, but life on earth wouldn’t be possible without these microscopic organisms. There are two types of plankton: phytoplankton and zooplankton. The former are tiny plants that convert carbon dioxide to oxygen - they are responsible for up to half of the oxygen we breathe! The latter are tiny animals that serve as food for larger animals like krill, shrimp, fish, and some whales. These two types of plankton form the base of the whole marine food chain, so they are really important!

Plastic, chemical, and nutrient pollution not only affect plankton, but also all the species who rely on them - including us!  Climate change contributes to rising ocean temperatures that cause mass migrations and population increases that disrupt the natural balance of the ocean ecosystem. 

When you purchase the Plankton Braided Bracelet, you’ll pull a pound of trash from the ocean and coastlines while raising awareness about the urgent need to help plankton with the many threats they are facing.

Available in two sizes:

Small, to fit wrist size 14.61cm - 17.15cm
