We are investing €116 million in 13 projects to restore our ocean and waters.

From helping migratory fish to empowering coastal communities, these initiatives are funded by Horizon Europe under the European Ocean Pact.

All for a healthier blue planet ↓

What fish can you find swimming between the algae in the rocky intertidal zone of Breiðafjörður? 🐟
Are these fish impacted by seaweed harvesting?🌱

Multiple ecology faculty positions at @notredame.bsky.social. Apply at apply.interfolio.com/171650. (1/2). 🌎🌐🧪
Multiple Early Career Faculty Positions in Ecology The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for multiple, tenure-track assistant professor positions that will enhance existing institutional excellence in ecology. We are searching broadly for creative and collaborative individuals (1) working at any spatial scale, from local to global, in any system, (2) studying any level of biological organization, from genes to ecosystems, and (3) using any mode of inference, from empirical to theoretical. Applicants should demonstrate research excellence that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries; ongoing growth in the department will emphasize new hires that use quantitative and/or integrative approaches to study ecological processes. Postdoctoral experience is desirable in applicants. Successful candidates will engage with and benefit from UNDERC, Notre Dame’s 8000-acre environmental field station and home to NEON’s Great Lakes domain, superb on-campus chemical and genomic analytical facilities, an experimental research facility located close to campus, cross-disciplinary interactions through multiple centers and institutes including the Environmental Change Initiative, and a unique Interdisciplinary Graduate Training Program in Environment and Society. New faculty will benefit from Notre Dame’s recent campus-wide Strategic Framework that included the Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative. Modern research facilities exist in a new environmental research building, which opened in 2025.

New paper out! 🐟🌿
We studied intertidal fish communities in Iceland & the effects of Ascophyllum nodosum harvesting.

Juvenile gadoids relied on these habitats and harvesting showed subtle effects on fish size & diet.
