✨Our project's website goes live✨ Find out more on our efforts to advance knowledge and develop tools for conservation of sponge species and habitats, from shallow to deep, across the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea - sponbiodiv.org #BiodiversaPlus #SpongeThursday

Final Meeting of the #GFCMResearch programme on #redcoral ongoing at Food and Agriculture Organization HQ The programme focused on 5 actions 1 Surveys at sea: Observers on board, ROV & deep-sea diving surveys 2 Traceability & labelling 3 Genetics 4 Stock assessment 5 Socioeconomics of the sector #MedSea4Fish

Our new opinion paper entitled “Towards invasion ecology for #subterranean ecosystems” was published in #Biodiversity & #Conservation journal, aiming at stimulating research emphasis on #Invasive Alien Species (IAS), particularly in subterranean habitats. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Great meeting of the SponBIODIV consortium today. SO MUCH solid science on sponge biodiversity, biogeography, and conservation unfolding across the Atlantic and Mediterranean by all 10 partner institutions and collaborators. ⛴️+🤿+🔬+🧬+🧫=🤲🧽 #SpongeThursday #BiodiversaPlus
