💧 Can one water sample reveal marine life?

🐠 Yes! Using metabarcoding, our #BioProtect team at @matisiceland.bsky.social analyses unique "barcodes" in #eDNA to ID multiple species at once.

An underwater drone in the deep ocean. Text says The Biologist, mapping Earth's final frontier

In the latest issue of #TheBiologist, researcher @samwperrin.bsky.social explains how the race is on to collect and synthesise data on Norwegian Sea ecosystems before deep-sea mining begins.

The crew of our expedition from Smögen to Trondheim has been delighted by a lot of public interest and positive reception.

It's heartening to see this support for research to support management of marine habitats!

Now, onwards to data collection 🙌

Whales and sharks get headlines.
But the ocean runs on plankton, algae, microbes, and invisible webs of life.
We need a new narrative. One that includes the unglamorous.

This 'blue button jellyfish' isn't actually a jellyfish, so what is it? The Blue Button jellyfish, or Porpita porpita, is not actually a jellyfish at all. It's a community of organisms working together.

🖐️ Did you know the #HighSeas cover nearly half of the Earth’s surface? Yet they remain vulnerable to overexploitation.

#NatureIsAlsoBlue so, at #COP16Colombia, we’re pushing for strong commitments to protect the High Seas.
