absorb- ing one third of anthropogenic atmospheric carbon. The biological carbon pump, powered by phytoplankton primary production, transports organic carbon from surface waters to deeper ocean zones, effectively [...] e filaments, or streamers, form through the instability of coastal cur- rents, concentrating phytoplankton and chlorophyll into elongated structures that enhance long-distance transport. Streamers can [...] supporting marine food webs and ecosystems, while biomass, which includes marine biota such as phytoplankton and microorganisms, accounts for around 3 PgC [2]. As anticipated in the previous subsection,

beyond the tidal flats are rich in nutrients. Accordingly, the microscopic algae in the water (phytoplankton), which often reproduce at an astronomic rate, thrive. These microalgae, along with those produced

This will allow to identify phytoplankton responses to different ice types on productivity and aggregation and to link them to the observed in situ effects on carbon production and its export
