Hidden Deserts

Citizen Science project (@obsdelmar). Our aim is to uncover the underwater deserts worldwide. Follow our expedition on #OpenExplorer.

When urchins are removed after fishing or culling, macroalgal habitats under contrasting nutrient conditions have different fates. Barrens in oligotrophy may remain stable even without SU! The feedback breaks in nutrient-rich waters.

#Seaurchins are important for keeping marine #ecosystems healthy

Did you know that the #roe is a good source of high-quality protein, omega-3 & micronutrients & is low in saturated fats⁉️

Find us #tomorrow at the @SeafoodExpo_GL in #Barcelona with @accioclimatica❗️

We are teaming up w/ @urchinomics @ceabcsic to turn #seaurchins into premium #seafood, boosting food #security, livelihoods & preserving the #Mediterranean's marine habitats.

Alejandra Pérez de @obsdelmar, junto a @jordiocean, investigador del #CEAB, fueron los encargados de hablar y debatir acerca de la importancia de las medusas en los ecosistemas subacuáticos así como del impacto de los desiertos submarinos 🌊

And it's out! 🙂 HAPPY to have contributed to this beautiful work led by @pessa_3 on a 🙁 SAD story (the homogenization and miniaturization of underwater vegetation). @Hidden_Deserts project is one of our ways to take action.

Feliz día mundial de los océanos!! Hoy 8 de Junio celebramos este gran día con un fotón de nuestros amigos de @Hidden_Deserts

Cuidar de nuestros océanos es responsabilidad de todos! #makiconsejo

Happy #worldoceanday today and everyday! @ominirabeats has finally released the #staghorncoral video, a shout out for the ocean raising awareness about the human impacts on marine ecosystems! #coralbleaching #hiddendeserts

Tomorrow we celebrate the #WorldOceanDay and we do it in a very special way! @ominirabeats is launching a new clip to present #staghorncoral inspired in the desertification of the ocean and #coralbleaching.

Can you see urchins from a #drone? Yes, yes you can. #phycologyfriday

#Oceandeserts have been rapidly growing for the past 50 years due to #climatechange, overfishing and pollution. They’re often found close to places with large amounts of polluted water and have a great impact in the associated fauna.

I make comics that simplify a piece of my scientific papers and hopefully reach a broader audience. https://t.co/bhjWY69i3m @ESAEcosphere @SDSU_MEBSA @SDSU @ucd_cmsi Here’s the one for my latest paper:

I’m feeling very buoyant after an Xmas dive this morning on the #giant #kelp ‘magic beans’ seeded 3 months ago: they’ve now grown floats!! Onwards & upwards to the surface 🌱🤞 #MerryXmas from #Tasmania #greengravel #macrocystis #kelpforest #oceanoptimism

🌊 Yesterday we met the @goodkarmaprojects crew, a committed group of surfers fighting ocean pollution and working to raise ocean awareness educating our new generations #Kids4theFuture!

🏄‍♂️ We explored the coast for Hidden Deserts aboard of the Majoqui.

🙏por dar 📢 al "grito del mundo del silencio"

🔴La mala noticia es que #CambioClimatico está degradando rápidamente al Océano.
🟢La buena noticia es que depende de nosotros hacer del Océano🌊nuestro gran aliado para frenar y revertir la tendencia actual.
