Short summary
This study explores the impact of modern climate change on single-celled, marine organisms in the Santa Barbara Basin called foraminifera. We collect their shells as they sink to the seafloor and compare our record (2014–2021) to previous studies (1993–1998). We find substantial decreases in total foraminifera and warm-water species. Likely influenced by ocean acidification and regional water circulation, these changes have implications for the marine carbon cycle, ecosystem, and fossil record.
