Cocco-what?????

Coccolithophores! I'd never heard of them, but apparently they can turn coastal water a Carribbean-looking turquoise!

I've read about lakes turning pink, but never heard of Coccolithophores.
Thats a new word for our vocabulory.

Sometimes I forget to like posts,but that doesn't mean I don't like them.

Oma - I didn't know there was something that turned the water pink - it must look very odd!
