Last day today at the Brussels #EUOceanDays event in Brussels and discussions are going on for the EU strategy on supporting coastal communities.

Iene Herman presented a poster for our latest research on population dynamics and fatty acid profiles of a benthic copepod, at the #VMSD26

Are you a young marine scientist? Get to know the Early Career Ocean Professional Programme (ECOP) and learn how to get involved in the Belgium node 🇧🇪 🤝 Next information session is at 3pm in room Dactylo. @unoceandecade.bsky.social

Today at VLIZ Marine Science Day in Ostend. Αlways nice to come back to this event once a year and catch up with the latest updates on marine research in flanders and beyond. #vmsd26 @vliz.be

New Publication! 🔬
Our 1-year study on Platychelipus littoralis is out! First publication of the year, a group effort of copepod team at UGent👏
This tiny copepod is a vital link between microalgae & Europe's mudflat food webs. 🌊🦀

Frontiers | The role of mangroves in early-life trophic interactions supporting fishery production in the Galapagos Mangrove nurseries are crucial for fishery production, supplying energy and nutrients via leaf organic matter in food webs. Recent stable isotope studies emp...

Proud to present our recent article published in Frontiers in Marine Science. Our research highlights the mangroves' importance in fueling trophic interactions in the Galapagos. 🐟We hope our work will contribute to conservation management of the islands. 🏝️
