What are Phytoplankton?

Some phytoplankton are bacteria, some are protists, and most are single-celled plants. Among the common kinds are cyanobacteria, silica-encased diatoms, dinoflagellates, green algae, and chalk-coated coccolithophores.

If you click on the names of different phytoplankton in the article, you will be taken to another page of images and more in-depth information on the specie. Really good resource.
