Our assistant/PhD candidate Edi presents our #restoration work on the north Adriatic endemic Fucus virsoides 🪴 at #ISS2023. We use a combination of in-situ and ex-situ techniques to optimise success 🔬#helpthekelp #kelpforestchallenge

We are thrilled to be part of the #kelpforestchallenge launched today @IMASUTAS 🌊 An international working group of kelp lovers aiming to restore 1M ha and protect 3M ha of global marine forest by 2040 💪🏻 #helpthekelp #restoration @CIMrovinj @institutrb

We are honoured that @AusAmbCroatia came to visit us @CIMrovinj last week. We discussed climate change, seaweeds and the potential for strengthening scientific collaboration between Australia and Croatia 🇦🇺 🇭🇷

[Australian Embassy, Croatia @AusAmbCroatia]

I was also pleased to meet @CIMrovinj Director, Dr Martin Andreas Pfannkuchen, and Head of Laboratory, Dr Ljubljana Ivesa, to discuss further 🇦🇺 🇭🇷 cooperation in marine biology and conservation.

🙏 for your presentation on the centre’s unique capabilities & fleet.
