🔬 Scientist: Gaya Marine biologist and IMBRSea graduate, researching the impacts of deep-seabed mining on meiofaunal communities in the Pacific. With 100+ days at sea across the Indian, Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic Oceans, he combines field experience, peer-reviewed research, and global science communication on deep-ocean biodiversity and mining risks. 🎨 Artist: Delphine Creating a series of oil paintings inspired by life in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, alongside custom coloring plates featuring deep-sea creatures. Printed on art paper for children to explore and paint, these works invite young minds to discover deep-sea ecosystems through imagination and scientific insight, fostering connection, awareness, and stewardship for one of Earth’s least understood environments. 🤝 Together, Oceans Unmined brings art and science into the classroom, empowering the next generation to understand and care for the deep ocean.
Detail of an oilpainting of a Hyalonema. Hyalonema species are deep-sea sponges famous for their long, twisted silica spicules that form a flexible “glass rope.” Found at depths of 200–2,000 m, they anchor themselves into soft sediments while their upper body filters microscopic particles from the water. Their intricate glassy skeletons are among the most beautiful natural structures found in the deep ocean. On the long stalk live tiny polyps.

This is a coloring page showing a Chondrocladia lampadiglobus, better known as the lollipop sponge. It is a deep-sea carnivorous sponge found between 1,000–3,000 m. Its round, bulb-like structures sit atop slender stalks, giving it a lollipop-like appearance.
This is a coloring page of an Apolemia lanosa. This is a species of deep-sea siphonophore. Siphonophores are fascinating organisms made up of many specialized clones (zooids) that function together as a single colony. A. lanosa is notable for its “woolly” appearance, with numerous densely packed zooids along its stem that give it a textured look. These colonies drift through the midwater column (often between ~600 – 1,800 m depth) and use their long tentacles equipped with stinging cells to capture a variety of gelatinous plankton and small animals.
This is a coloring page of a Grympoteuthis, commonly called the Dumbo octopus. It is a deep-sea octopod found at depths of 1,000–7,000 m. It is known for its ear-like fins, which resemble the ears of Disney’s Dumbo and help it glide gracefully through the water. Unlike most octopuses, it does not use jet propulsion frequently and prefers slow, energy-efficient swimming. It feeds on small invertebrates that live on or just above the seafloor.
Hi everybody!
Just wanted to pop in and share some new #coloringpages with you 😊
I'll be sharing more news and art soon!
Wishing a lovely weekend to all 💙

Hello there Ladies & Gentlemen! We are extraordinarily proud to announce that we recently released a FREE online micro-course on the phenomenon of mangrove forest degradation! With the assistance of one of our amazing volunteers, Kapish, we developed this brilliant course to bring you more information on this ecologically devastating phenomenon. Mangrove forests are unique coastal ecosystems built by mangrove trees where the sea meets the land. Mangroves build complex ecosystems that are home to thousands of marine & terrestrial species. Approximately 80% of commercial fish, & shellfish species rely on mangroves at some point in their lifetime. The course can be accessed at thepersaudcatalog.org, & is completely free! This course is an opportunity to learn more about the ocean, how we are impacting the ocean, how we can mitigate these threats, & how we can pave a bluer future for us all. Thank you all for your support, & we look forward to releasing more valuable courses such as these! https://www.thepersaudcatalog.org/challenge-page/d6100802-7a55-411e-9f02-e646c6411ee7?programId=d6100802-7a55-411e-9f02-e646c6411ee7
