This September, our partners at NTNU hosted a deep-sea technology training school for scientists, technicians and students from @maremadeira.bsky.social and GEOMAR. It got rave reviews from attendees and hit all project KPIs for moose and aurora borealis sightings, too 🦌

A moment to remember! The #ICMBXII community gathered together in Madeira — researchers, students, and practitioners united by a shared passion for #marine #bioinvasions.

The conference isn’t over yet — more sessions, discussions, and connections are still to come!

Macaronesia is home to the pelagic seabird Manx shearwater (subspecies Puffinus puffinus canariensis). This long-lived and far-travelling seabird only comes to land for breeding and nests in burrows, which it visits at night. Perhaps you’ve heard its nighttime cackling, crooning and ‘coughing’?
