    Deep-Sea Creatures Play a Major Role in Removing Carbon from Atmosphere

    Deep-sea plankton plays a critical role in eliminating carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, as per a new study. The ocean is teeming with creatures that appear to have been created out of human greatest fears. There are glowing fishes that look like demons and sponges that consume the remains of other animals. However, the ocean floor is a biological carbon sink that traps CO2 from the atmosphere.
