And so ends the 🌊 campaign aboard the RV Sarmiento de Gamboa 🚢 as part of Horizon Europe🇪🇺 MARBEFES project in the Menorca Channel 🇪🇸

Now we, IMEDEA (UIB-CSIC) & ICM-CSIC, have to analyse 🔬 hundreds of geological 🪨, biological 🧬 and oceanographic 💦 data.

Good times are coming.

Nobody said it would be easy, but here I am, crushing rhodoliths!

On International Day for Biological Diversity, we at MARBEFES reflect on the cultural, ecological and economic importance of species like the blue mussel (Mytilus edulus). To read more about the International Day for Biological Diversity, click below! un.org/en/observances…

🌎Today is Earth Day! 🌏As we celebrate and appreciate the natural environment, the MARBEFES project continues to apply innovative techniques to protect our valuable Earth resources 🌍

For the next celebration of the BBTs, we travel to Lithuania, which features the famous Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with work led by our colleagues at the Marine Research Institute of the Klaipeda University.

Today we take the opportunity to highlight some work by the MARBEFES team!

First, a look at seasonal changes in seaweed growth based on warming climates. Check it out in the link here -> doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

The MARBEFES GA meeting took place in Klaipeda on August 28-31, 2023.
MARBEFES is looking for comprehensive, and effective ways to communicate data on marine biodiversity, species functions, complex patterns, and linkages to societal assets in diverse environmental contexts.

First experimental attempts to define conditions in which rhodoliths live. Produuuce, my babies, produce! MARBEFES Silvia De Juan

The oceanographic and biological campaign of the Horizon Europe🇪🇺 MARBEFES project is already underway in the Menorca channel. The IMEDEA (UIB-CSIC) team is conducting plankton fisheries, geological surveys, video transects and much more on board the RV Sarmiento de Gamboa.

Next week,   #SummerSchool23 will start in San Sebastián, organized by Dr Angel Borja
While, We are enjoying Bilbao

Στελέχη του Επιμελητηρίου Ηρακλείου και του H2BHUB συμμετείχαν στην έρευνα που διεξάγεται μέσω του Ευρωπαϊκού Προγράμματος MARBEFES με χρηματοδότηση από το HORIZON-EUROPE.

We were excited to join the EC-ESA Joint Earth System Science Initiative Workshop last month

Colomban de Vargas presented BIOcean5D in the ocean health & biodiversity session, alongside fellow EU-funded projects MARBEFES, OBAMA-NEXT, MARCO-BOLO
