We recently supported a #CitizenScience activity in Fethiye as part of the #DiverSea project.

Our partner #AkdenizKorumaDerneği worked with local volunteers to collect phytoplankton samples, measure water clarity, and gather coastal environmental data.

✨ Exciting work out now in PNAS from DiverSea coordinator Glenn Dunshea and colleagues.

The analysis methods developed here in tropical soils are broadly applicable for integrating #eDNA datasets with other survey data & appraising eDNA classification performance, including in #marine research.

📢 #Trondheim! This weekend, you're invited to visit the #SmögenToTrondheim crew on their vessel Hrimfare.

After six weeks of sailing, #biodiversity data collection, and community engagement, the crew are in the Trondheim harbor for the weekend to chat and share tales from the journey 🌊⛵

After weeks of biodiversity data collection and community visits, the team is getting close to Trondheim.

They received a warm welcome in Ålesund and shared their work with many interested visitors.

The DiverSea #Hrimfare expedition is almost two weeks in and going strong.

From crystal clear Kosterfjorden, to Tjärnö Marine Lab, Svinesund Bridge, and Idefjord with its darker waters, the team is making great progress and collecting valuable data.

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 🙌
