Join us at the 6th South African Marine Linefish Symposium in August 2024 for a deep dive into SA's linefish research! (6thsamls.co.za).

[Meet] Dr Zoleka N P Filander, a Deep-Sea Researcher: Environmentza . She has been nominated for the TW Kambule-NSTF Emerging Researcher Award. See all the nominees here: nstf.org.za/current-nomine… #NSTFawards2024 #ScienceOscars #Science #Engineering #Technology #Innovation #4IR

Our team has just returned after completing an invertebrate #biodiversity survey along the South African South Coast🪼🦞🦀🦐🪸🐚 In celebration of #InternationalBiodiversityDay here are some of the cool things they found! #PartOfThePlan #FBIPSeaMap #Offshore #marine

🎙Podcast Alert! I am grateful for the opportunity to share my journey from marine ecology to science communication, offering unique insights into how UCT MARIS, together with AtlantECO Project 🇪🇺🇧🇷🇿🇦, finds ways to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and community awareness. ⬇️

Congratulations to our CEO Prof Alan Jamieson for receiving an OBE for his services to Marine Biology, Subsea Engineering & Exploration. Alan's work has been key to better understanding the deepest parts of our oceans and we're incredibly proud that his work has been recognised.

Some midweek #motivation! A six-armed Pseudarchaster species⭐️found #offshore of the SA west coast. #starfish #trawldiscovery #wednesday #happyhumpday #FBIPSeaMap

New features for LARGO and Video annotation, SSO and more. Start this week with the 5th #BIIGLE newsletter biigle.de/newsletter/sho…

Some wonderful news to end off your week! #research #ResearchPapers #marine #openscience

Crossaster penicillatus, aka the 🌻 starfish, is a stunning #deepsea species known for its vibrant colouration and unique appearance! Did you know they can have up to 24 arms, making them one of the most captivating #starfish species in the ocean? #MarineLife #underthesea

Behind the scenes glimpse👀 JJ & Sisipho meticulously preserving specimens during their recent offshore survey🚢 Preserving marine specimens isn't just about science—it's about protecting our planet's natural heritage for future generations🌍 #OceanConservation #ScienceMatters

From tiny amphipods to giant clams, #benthic #marine #invertebrates come in all shapes and sizes! Each species contributing to the #biodiversity of our oceans 🌊 #researchtrawl #oceanmonitoring #marineresearch

Excited to see this out! This paper started off as a presentation at the Imidibaniso (SciCom) Eco-Communications Symposium in 2022 and it’s been a long journey to its final form… Thank you to special issue editors Mehita Iqani and Meghan Judge 👏

I'm hiring a coordinator for our #mesophotic Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) program! This exciting new project will generate unprecedented amounts of information about the biodiversity of deep reefs in the Pacific. Spread the word! us242.dayforcehcm.com/CandidatePorta…

🪸NEW EPISODE🪸 This month we cover the hugely important (yet often not well-known) deep-water corals. These incredibly long-lived ecosystem engineers are vital to deep-sea habitats & we learn why with Di Tracey. Listen now: bit.ly/4ilUTGD 📸Ocean Exploration Trust

🌊 Call for Applications: POGO-OceanX-OceanQuest Fellowship 🌍 Join the OceanXplorer, one of the world’s most advanced research vessels, for a unique opportunity to train in ocean exploration during the Around Africa Mission! 👉 Learn more: mailchi.mp/9b8033a52bee/x…

If you’re interested in global change, crabs, mangroves, larvae or all of the above. I am open to co-designing a postdoc project and hosting you at the Vorsatz ACCEL Lab at UCT . Get in touch if interested #postdoc #ecology #marinebiology #marinescience #crabs #larvae
