Now the samples and data collected by the instruments on the mooring will be used to better understand fluxes of carbon throughout the water column in this region, and the role of biological processes in this. 🦐

The BIOPOLE mooring has quite the backstory:
🚢 First deployed in early 2023
🧊 Later in 2023 was in the predicted path of the A23a iceberg
🦸 Recovered during #BIOPOLE1 in late 2023 to protect it from A23a
⚓ Redeployed in early 2024
And now… #BIOPOLE2 has recovered the mooring for the last time!

A #seapig: a type of #seacucumber or #holothurian. This one comes from 600 m down near the South Orkney Islands off #Antarctica.

# https://statisticsglobe.com/venn-diagram-in-r#data install.packages("VennDiagram") library("VennDiagram") grid.newpage() draw.pairwise.venn(area1 = 10, area2 = 10, cross.area = 5, fill = c("pink", "orange"), lty = "blank", alpha = 0.5, label.col = NA, category = c("#rstats", "penguins"), cat.fontfamily = "arial", cat.col = c("pink", "orange"))
Thought I'd do a Venn diagram to show the crossover. Need the intersection to show #biopole2. Feel free to improve on :)

Monitoring changes to krill populations helps us to understand how they may fare with threats like climate change and fishing pressures, and the knock-on effects for other parts of the ecosystem. 🐧
