Here are a few photos from last Wednesday’s tribute to Kike at the Institut d’Estudis Catalans.

It was a beautiful day to remember him — and to remind ourselves how lucky we were to have crossed paths with him.
Thanks to everyone who made it possible, and to everyone who came or wished they could ❤️

Today we bring you a “Did you know…?” based on a beautiful infographic from the PhD thesis of our Cristina Galobart.

Her 2025 thesis is titled “Evaluating success in macroalgal forest restoration: Indicators for biodiversity and functional recovery.”

Ja nedes, Marta… companya i amiga.

La Marta Sales ens ha deixat massa aviat. A més de ser una gran amiga, ha estat un referent per a totes nosaltres. Gràcies a ella hem après a estimar i entendre millor aquests boscos marins que tant ens apassionen.

La jornada d'aquest dissabte va ser tot un èxit! 🪸

El dia va començar amb una passejada fins a la Cala Estreta 👣

Llavors vam explicar què són els boscos marins i quina importància tenen 🌳🌊

Vam fer snorkel per descobrir-ho en primera persona 🤿

🌍 Today is #InternationalDayForBiologicalDiversity
📉 In Catalonia, over 25% of natural habitats are in poor condition. Marine ecosystems are among the most threatened.

🔬 At Marine Forest Research Group, we study marine biodiversity to help protect it.

We love field trips! 🪸
Especially when the sea looks like this today… 🩵

And when a curious cuttlefish comes to say hi near the rocks! 🦑

📣 Did you know there’s kelp endemic to the Mediterranean?

🪸Yes, you read that right! Those long algae forming underwater forests with giant curtains also exist only in the Mediterranean!
