Dinoflagellates are mostly marine plankton, but they also are common in freshwater habitats. Their populations vary with sea surface temperature, salinity, and depth. Many dinoflagellates are photosynthetic, but a large fraction of these are in fact mixotrophic, combining photosynthesis with ingestion of prey (phagotrophy and myzocytosis).[6][7] source: wikipedia Magnet Fishers are the BOMB: magnet fishing FN eps-FN 214 (brief) Reid Irrationally Exuberant Podcast and FN 261 with Jeril Arsino and Scuba Sonja in depth story submitted by yours truly  https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/03/us/massachusetts-magnet-fisherman-military-projectile/index.html  https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/06/us/second-military-ordnance-needhman-massachusetts/index.html COSTA SUNGLASSES NEWS RELEASE  David Lyons Tackling Minds  https://www.tacklingminds.org/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCryXckE09ubhYwL4MazYX1Q/videos https://www.instagram.com/tackling.minds/ https://www.facebook.com/Tacklingmindsuk
