Forams are fantastic! But what if they are made out of plastic?

“In my story, the ambitious micro-fish Gigi and the equally inquisitive sea turtle Thibault are close friends. On one of their adventures in the sea they discover a group of peculiar sea creatures. Professor Fina, a teacher in an underwater school for marine animals, helps them to analyze them. This story tells us what the future might bring for foraminifera, a group of microscopic marine organisms. There will be a time when our oceans will have so much plastic litter that even the smallest organisms have to use them as shells.”
