  Here are five of my favourites from more recent times: Sir Oliver Lodge (physicist), Sir William Barrett (physicist), Camille Flammarion (astronomer), Sir Alistair Hardy (biologist) and John Polkinghorne (physicist).

  Sir Alistair Hardy, a marine biologist from Plymouth, UK, of the early th century, rst named this assemblage of soft blue ocean drifters. Physalia. Glaucus. Janthina. Velella. Bluebottle. Blue sea slug. Violet shell. Blue Sail by the Wind.

  But how does the Fleet fare as a whole In the s, Sir Hardy designed a plankton tow and a sampling program of the North Atlantic which continues today.

  During the early 20th century, Plymouth marine biologist Alistair Hardy developed an apparatus that could be towed behind an Antarctic expedition boat, 10 meters below the surface, to sample krill,an ant-sized, shrimplike invertebrate on which much of the planet's food chain rests. . . . Hardy was able to convince English merchant vessels using commercial shipping lanes throughout the North Atlantic to drag his Continuous Plankton Recorder for several decades, amassing a database so valuable he was eventually knighted for his contributions to marine science.
  
  He took so many samples around the British Isles that only every second one was analyzed.
  ...
  Especially troubling was that Hardy's plankton recorder had trapped all this plastic 10 meters below the surface, suspended in the water.

  The founder and first head of the Department of Biological Sciences, Sir Alistair Hardy, was Britain's foremost marine biologist of his time.Chief Zoologist on The Discovery (the ship made famous by ‘Scott of the Antarctic') in the 1920s, he was world-renowned for his work in oceanography.
  ...
  In this last field, particularly, our biologists are continuing the traditions begun by Sir Alistair Hardy, translating their knowledge into research-driven teaching that benefits students at all levels.

  During the early twentieth century, Plymouth marine biologist Alistair Hardy developed an apparatus that could be towed behind an Antarctic expedition boat, ten meters below the surface, to sample krill-the ant-sized, shrimplike invertebrate on which much of the planet's food chain rests. In the 1930s, he modified it to measure even smaller plankton. It employed an impeller to turn a moving band of silk, similar to how a dispenser in a public lavatory moves cloth towels. As the silk passed over an opening, it filtered plankton from water passing through it. Each band of silk had a sampling capacity of five hundred nautical miles.

  In 1998, Moore returned with a trawling device, such as Sir Alistair Hardy had employed to sample krill, and found, incredibly, more plastic by weight than plankton on the ocean's surface.

  Early in the twentieth century, Alistair Hardy, another marine biologist, began the collection of samples of the sea by means of collecting krill in a special apparatus he designed to be dragged behind oceangoing vessels. The sampling program he started has continued, with stored specimens providing a chronological history of the oceans throughout the past century. The apparatus drags about 10 meters (some 33 feet) below the surface collecting krill, tiny shrimplike creatures.
