🪸 We ran a workshop explaining things like the conservation status of the Mediterraneanu, the impacts on marine ecosystems, our work and projects, and how we sample and study benthic habitats.

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 ❤️

It shows how different Cystoseira species appear at different depths — some can even be found beyond 35 meters!
The Cystoseira silhouettes come from Blanfune et al. (2022), “Les forêts marines de France et de Méditerranée.”

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.”

La Marta feia les coses com si no costessin… com ho fan les persones sàvies.
Durant els últims mesos, dibuixava boscos d’algues. Deia que la distreien.
Nosaltres pensem que ens ha deixat pistes d’on trobar-la.
Et buscarem. 🪸

Després de la seva tesi, centrada en la distribució espacial dels boscos de Cystoseires, va iniciar —gairebé per casualitat i guiada només per la seva curiositat— el que acabaria sent un projecte exemplar de restauració d’aquests ecosistemes al Mediterrani.

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 🤿
