Thank you to scientists at the 2025 Crustacean Society Summer Meeting who attended Dr Verity Nye's presentation yesterday.

Verity and Maya remain at the conference this week to meet experts in the #crustacean scientific community and learn how we can collaborate to accelerate #speciesdiscovery.

This #BiodiversityDay, we ask the question "Why should we care about species discovery?".

Watch the video below to find out why it is critically important that we understand more about our marine biodiversity 👇
