Imagine being on your everyday walk and see a 🌋 erupt! Now imagine the same only you are diving inside a submersible 1.6 miles underwater… 😳🤩😅 (amazing and perhaps a little scary)

🌊 Deepness alert! 🌊 Join the launching of EMB’s Future Science Brief. It highlights the need to expand our knowledge on the largest biome of our 🌍 and how science, global cooperation and policy engagement are crucial to ensure its sustainability. #FutureOcean #OceanGovernance #DeepOceanExploration
How interesting, I’ll come by to know more :)
📣 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 📣
After less than 16 months exploring the ocean’s depths, we’re thrilled to reveal the first 866 new marine species discovered by the Ocean Census Alliance!
This isn’t only a significant step in documenting ocean #biodiversity. 👇
Yep! Looking forward to meet up 😊
Xenos are incredible, but please note that the beastie in the image is in fact a lithistid (=rock) sponge... and rock sponges are the epitome of resilience! 🙂
