Absolutely ecstatic!
Just as Portugal announces the Gorringe Bank as a new Marine Protected Area, the #TwinDEEPS expedition team is right here on-site, exploring its deep-sea habitats.

Volcanic Eruption in Deep Ocean Ridge Is Witnessed by Scientists for First Time
Researchers diving in a submersible in the eastern Pacific realized that the landscape they had studied the day before had been glassed over by fresh lava.

📣 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 📣
After less than 16 months exploring the ocean’s depths, we’re thrilled to reveal the first 866 new marine species discovered by the Ocean Census Alliance!
This isn’t only a significant step in documenting ocean #biodiversity. 👇

Our next #SpeciesDiscoveryWorkshop begins today at the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity, in South Africa.
A team of scientists are analysing suspected new species of sponges and octocorals, collected during the Nekton First Descent Seychelles (2018) and Maldives (2022) expeditions.

Check out this cool collaborative study led by dear colleagues from MARE-Madeira on macrofouling of the twilight zone! It’s their first (surely of many to come) #deepsea publication! Welcome to the “deep” @jcanningclode.bsky.social 😊
🌊 Thrilled to share MARE-Madeira's first deep-sea paper published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social @commsbio.bsky.social!
Part of the #TWILIGHTED project, our study explores how depth & orientation influence mesophotic macrofouling in Madeira.
