Alan Reece Longhurst (5 March 1925 – 7 December 2023) was a British-born Canadian oceanographer who invented the Longhurst-Hardy Plankton Recorder, and is widely known for his contributions to the primary scientific literature, together with his numerous monographs, most notably the "Ecological Geography of the Sea". He led an effort that produced the first estimate of global primary production in the oceans using satellite imagery, and also quantified vertical carbon flux through the planktonic ecosystem via the biological pump. In later life he offered a number of critical reviews of several aspects of fishery management science and climate change science. Longhurst died on 7 December 2023, at the age of 98.
