Fun day exploring the #deepsea w/ the community. Sharing our research to raise awareness and inspire people to protect #deepsea biodiversity in its many forms (species, habitats, and ecosystems). Happy #CIIMARopenday!💙😊

Interested in a PhD understanding the community dynamics of hard and soft corals in Okinwawa reefs with @JDReimer @EGMitchell @DrManica using newly methodologies for the analyses of community ecology & 3D model reconstruction? https://t.co/VrZvodceLo

[EMB ECOPs network @EcopsEmb]

Great news ! The Network is the gateway for us, EMB young ambassadors, to reach ECOPs from EMB members and get them involved in EMB projects that are always highly valuable for ECOPs career.

Two amazing days with our partners from IMR 🇳🇴, NIOZ 🇳🇱, and AWI-Pangaea 🇩🇪 during our #TwinDEEPS project kickoff meeting. Lots of cool activities in the making to further advance #deepsea exploration and observation in Portugal 🇵🇹

On a mission to make deep-sea exploration more widely accessible, the @AzoresDeepSea Research group developed the Azor drift-cam as a way to survey the deepest parts of the ocean like never before, informing how to protect them. More on https://t.co/rznoxryyIp #PerpetualPlanet

I'm in Tonga to issue a global SOS – Save Our Seas.

Global average sea levels are rising at rates unprecedented in the past 3,000 years.

The ocean is overflowing because of climate change.

The world must #ActNow & answer the SOS before it's too late.

@piroxena A minha cadelita começou a rosnar (e olha que estamos em Aveiro!). Super-Oli! 🐶

[Joana Xavier @JoanaRXavier]

@JoaoCDuarte Acordei (em Aveiro!) com o tremor e som relativamente ligeiros, e a cadelita também deu sinal (começou a rosnar).

Great news from our Greek @SponBIODIV partners on their Ionian Sea campaign. The samples and data will be used to understand both diversity and connectivity patterns of these important species and habitats across the Atlantic and Mediterranean 🌊🧽

[SponBIODIV🦋@sponbiodiv.bsky.social @SponBIODIV]

With 20 SCUBA & ROV #dives in sponge-dominated reefs & underwater caves and ≈200 sponge samples, the @SponBIODIV sampling campaign in the #Ionian Sea by our Greek partners @myionio & @HcmrImbbc was completed successfully! 🙌

[Joana Xavier @JoanaRXavier]

@jcanningclode This is heartbreaking, so much nature and wildlife destroyed 😞 Stay safe João.

[Joana Xavier @JoanaRXavier]

Really interesting work led by @j_g_rodrigues on the perceptions of a broad range of stakeholders regarding a coastal MPA. The findings show just how important community engagement and co-design are (or should be) on such processes.

[NOAA Coastal Ocean Science @noaacoastalsci]

Last month, NOAA scientists and partners teamed up with US Navy saturation divers to advance #mesophotic and #deepsea restoration efforts in the Gulf of Mexico—a collaboration that is the first of its kind. Learn more: https://t.co/f2Pvf2TDym

We are recruiting a P5 senior officer to continue our work in support of Regional #Fisheries Bodies, especially Regional #Fisheries Management Organizations. —-> https://t.co/8QH7a2EOH1. As always in FAO, it starts as a 2-yr appointment, but it is a regular budget post.

[MOFA of Japan @MofaJapan_en]

Japan's first manned submersible #shinkai2000, built in 1981, contributed to deep-sea research including discovering hydrothermal vents in Okinawa Trough. It ended its dive in 2002 and was inscribed as Mechanical Engineering #heritage in 2017.

“Pretty much every single system in the body is hijacked to allow for the fetus to grow”, yep, that feels about right 😄

[Joana Xavier @JoanaRXavier]

Mind blowing findings on brain shrinking patterns during pregnancy (and beyond). Truly fascinating!!!

'HURININ People of the Sea' is one of the most beautiful videos I have seen on cultural memory and indigenous communities’ rights to their ocean heritage. Really inspiring work by @OneOceanHub 🩵
