[PDF][PDF] Layered organization in the coastal ocean: An introduction to planktonic thin layers and the LOCO project

In his seminal paper ''The Paradox of the Plankton''GE Hutchinson (1961) asked:''How is it
possible for a number of species to coexist in a relatively isotropic or unstructured
environment all competing for the same sorts of materials?''Of course, we now know the
oceans are anything but isotropic and unstructured. Heterogeneity in physical conditions
and motions result in complex vertical and horizontal structures in the ocean, which, in turn,
contribute to a similarly patchy and complex distribution of nutrients and plankton. This …
