Plankton (Phytoplankton) represents the most basic food type at the bottom of the foodchain that feeds every animal in the sea in one way or another (they either eat plankton or eat other animals that have at one time eaten plankton). Plankton thrives around Coastlines, around the equator/continental shelf areas and in her latitude regions. They are found near the surface, where there is high concentrations of nutrients, where winds are able to help bring nutrients to the surface and require iron (a critical trace element required by Plankton) in the water.
