👩🏻🔬Every month we study the Cystoseira s.l. forests at two coastal sites: Port de la Selva and Cala Estreta.
📏We look at aspects such as density, size and fertility of the individuals.

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 ❤️

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.
