Plankton, in particular phytoplankton, are unicellular plants that live in the water column (freshwater or seawater). When the water is nutrient rich, warm and there is a lot of sunshine, these plants multiply rapidly and their presence in the water becomes noticeable. This spurt of growth/reproduction is called a "bloom" - a Plankton bloom.

What is an examples of technological fixes?
Well... A good example is iron fertilisation of the oceans which encourages blooms of plankton which will lead to the removal of excess CO2.

Plankton itself is not harmful to humans. In fact, many plankton species serve as the base of the aquatic food chain and play a critical role in marine ecosystems. However, some plankton blooms can release toxins that can harm humans if consumed through contaminated seafood or water.
This maonster shark is not dangerous to people because it's a filter feeder it's the biggest fish in the sea?
The shark is called the whale shark.A plankton feeder,it can grow to nearly sixty feet in length.It roams the oceans in small schools,following the blooms of plankton.
Why is there an increase in plankton in certain areas?
An increase in plankton in certain areas can be due to factors such as nutrient availability, water temperature, and ocean currents. Nutrient-rich waters can stimulate plankton growth, leading to blooms. Changes in environmental conditions, such as warming temperatures, can also create favorable conditions for plankton growth. Ocean currents can transport plankton to certain areas, contributing to their abundance.

Are tiger sharks diurnal or nocturnal?
The whale shark has been observed with both diurnal and nocturnal feeding habits. This change in behavior can be linked to times when the plankton they feed on blooms.
