Great day, great event 🍾🍾🍾 #seabedmatters

Investigating the geology of the upper seabed using vibrocoring and acoustic surveying #RVSimonStevin for #ProjectTesterep (Flanders Marine Institute - VLIZ) and #ProjectSusana (@RBINSmuseum Marine@UGent), funded by FWO and VLAIO, respectively #seabedmatters

Off we go! For @RBINSmuseum challenges ahead investigating alternative sand sources (ao #beneficial_use_of_dredged_material) and cumulative modelling of #sedimentplumes #seabedmatters

Happy to have presented a keynote on field measurements at #MARID VII using a preview of our new 50k scale sediment map, and discuss features naturally and human-induced. Thanks @FlemishHydrography for bathymetry data. #broadscalehabitat #MSFD @RBINSmuseum #seabedmatters

Excited to discuss all new and updated seabed-related maps that will be released in the coming months. Also from Belgium a new seabed substrate map will be integrated 😀 #Emodnetgeology #seabedmatters @RBINSmuseum

Track UNEP's #MarineSandWatch bringing awareness on global dredging activities, stimulating the dialogue on sustainable management of #Sand. Happy to have promoted mapping and monitoring in the panel discussion. #seabedmatters UNEP/GRID-Geneva @RBINSmuseum

Nice synthesis (1/10) of UNEP's Launch of the Marine Sand Watch at the World Resources Forum, Geneva2023. Making progress together! #seabedmatters @RBINSmuseum
