Recognizing the ecological roles of microorganisms as drivers of marine biogeochemical cycles and how they are influenced by seawater pollution, warming, and acidification is essential to understanding climate change mechanisms and their global impacts. We call for updating current science teaching standards by linking microscale processes and macroscale dynamics in the context of marine ecosystems to promote ocean and climate literacy among the next generation.
