Ocean optimism: hope for the ocean and societies MOOC #6, February 2026 GES4SEAS project
Welcome to a new #MOOC of #GES4SEAS project on #oceanoptimism, to be developed during next four weeks, on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays.
Come and help us to change the narrative about the ocean!
We need some hope and good news!
It's my pleasure to annnounce a new @azti.bsky.social #GES4SEAS summer school: assessing cumulative effects from multiple #pressures at sea, a practical application, using our Tikta tool. There is a limited number of places, apply now!

The #ocean provides for all of us, but that is not the end of the story. We are part of the ecosystem and we need to respect that. The fish 🐟 we eat, the corals 🪸 that protect our coast, with our actions we influence them, harm them and in doing so can harm ourselves.
🌍 Excited to share our new e-book: Understanding the Response of Ecosystems to Increasing Human Pressures and #ClimateChange – #Management Options! 🚀

During European Researchers’ Night 2025, our lab team brought deep-sea science to Fábrica da Ciência Viva, Aveiro; Torreira & Armamar, with games and talks that inspired curiosity, promoted inclusion, and highlighted the value of ocean research.🌊🔬🌍
Deadline extended🐬

Welcome to the #GES4SEAS #MOOC on Tipping Points #TIPP
Well, what is a Tipping Point?
It is a point after which an ecosystem suddenly shifts from one state to another, Going back to the original state is difficult: SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE.
See the thread for more details👇
This support is crucial for unlocking 'sleeping' deep-sea biodiversity data and making it open and FAIR, actively contributing to the EU #DigitalTwinOcean. Open FAIR data is a key step in understanding and protecting #DeepSea ecosystems and boosting their visibility in marine data portals.
Very happy to announce that our project AURORA: Bringing Deep-Sea #Biodiversity Data to Light has been selected for funding by @dtobioflow.bsky.social 🎉
@ahilario.bsky.social @helianateixeira.bsky.social @uaveiro.bsky.social #DTOBioFlow
Each project brings unique expertise, methods, and data realities—spanning regions, ecosystems, and institutions. 🌊🧪
Workshops like this are a rare chance to hear such diverse voices, yet all aligned around a shared purpose. Ideas are already starting to connect.

Excited to be in Paris for the DTO-BioFlow Data Grants Holders Workshop! Discussing crucial topics like effective biodiversity data management & sharing in open-access data repositories like EMODnet Biology. Let's make data FAIR for better conservation! #DTOBioFlow #BiodiversityData #OpenScience
Achieving Good Environmental Status (GES) for marine habitats 🌊 requires robust data on human impacts. This dataset can provide valuable support for policymakers and contribute to the conservation of deep-sea benthic habitats. (4/4)

It complements the study "Impact chains for the deep seafloor: assessing pressures footprint under limited knowledge and uncertainty" 📖 (doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2025.1532964), which assesses human activities & pressures affecting deep-sea habitats in Portugal's mainland EEZ. (3/4)
This dataset (🔗 zenodo.org/records/14941432) was developed under the #GES4SEAS & @bioprotectproject.bsky.social projects to support deep-sea conservation. (2/4)
🚨 New dataset! 🚨 Mapping human & climate pressures on deep-sea benthic habitats within Mainland Portugal's Exclusive Economic Zone (>200m) 🇵🇹 (1/4)
5/5 You can read all about this new open-access paper “Impact chains for the deep seafloor: assessing pressures footprint under limited knowledge and uncertainty" in doi.org/10.3389/fmar.... #OpenAccess #ScienceCommunication @uaveiro.bsky.social
4/5 📊🔍 Data gaps and the lack of baseline and long-term data series hinder the effective assessment of combined impacts in the deep sea. High-quality and standardized marine data collection and sharing are essential. #DataScience #OceanData
3/5 On the other hand, at abyssal depths, climate change-related pressures dominate. #ClimateChange
2/5 🚢🎣🌡️ Marine traffic, fisheries, and climate change are major players. Within bathyal zones, chemical pollutants are widespread while abrasion impacts are more localised. Bathyal zones near the 200m contour face a higher risk of combined effects. #EcosystemBasedManagement #HumamImpacts
1/5 🚨 New research alert! 🌊 Happy to share our new paper on anthropogenic pressures footprint on #DeepSea benthic habitats in Mainland Portuguese EEZ. A #GES4SEAS & @bioprotectproject.bsky.social paper with @ahilario.bsky.social and @helianateixeira.bsky.social
🌊 Join #INCISE2025 in Barcelona, hosted by the ICM & CSIC, in collaboration with the University of Barcelona to focus on submarine canyons and their role in marine science.
📅 16 - 19 June 2025
📍 Barcelona, Spain
📣 Call for abstracts: Submit by 31 March 2025
