Swimming sea cucumbers may play key role in ocean carbon cycle

Original: New research reveals surprising link in ocean carbon cycle: Swimming sea cucumbers

New research from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute reveals that swimming sea cucumbers are linked to the ocean carbon cycle in a surprising way. The deep-sea creatures, previously thought of mainly as seafloor dwellers, appear to contribute to how carbon moves through ocean waters, adding a new piece to scientists' understanding of carbon storage and climate processes.

Why now: MBARI has just published new research on the unexpected role of swimming sea cucumbers in the ocean carbon cycle.
