SponBIODIV presented this week at #BiodiversaPrague2023 #BiodivProtect kickoff meeting! Three days of inspiring projects and people, sharing of experiences and building of synergies. And all rolled out by an amazing organization by Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership) and TACR 🙌

What a great SponBIODIV (hybrid) kickoff meeting we had this week CIIMAR-UP.🙌 to this awesome All-Atlantic & Mediterranean consortium with 10 partners +7 associate partners, and over 60 researchers! May the #sponge science (and fun) begin 😊 Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership)

New "kid" on the (sponge) block! Welcome to @sponbiodiv Julio 🙌

Yesterday our colleague sergi taboada, from Sociedad de Amigos del Museo, presented the latest SponBIODIV results at an event organised by Fundación Biodiversidad. Great opportunity to engage with other Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership) projects funded under the BiodivProtect and BiodivMon calls!

Happy #WorldOceanDay from the seafloor and the base of the animal tree of life! 🧽 #BiodiversaPlus

With 20 SCUBA & ROV #dives in sponge-dominated reefs & underwater caves and ≈200 sponge samples, the SponBIODIV sampling campaign in the #Ionian Sea by our Greek partners Ionian University & imbbc-hcmr was completed successfully! 🙌

Amazing week imbbc-hcmr in Heraklion 🇬🇷 for our midterm meeting! So many interesting results underway to inform public policies for conservation of sponge biodiversity. 🙌to our hosts Thanos Dailianis VasilisGerovasileiou #BiodivProtect Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership) #SpongeThursday
