The HorizonEU OceanICU project will produce new data, information and understanding on the role of the #ocean in the global #carbon cycle. #horizoneurope
💡🐟 It's Marine Knowledge Week & we are pleased to be sharing the OceanICU story with attendees at the EMODnet Open Conference today!

If you are in attendance pass by & talk to us about understanding ocean carbon.

They are architects building houses while floating through oceans. They are engineers capturing atmospheric carbon, atom by atom.

While you breathe, they work. While you sleep, they build. While you read this, they're protecting our climate system.

Who are they?

In a world visible only under a microscope, a story unfolds that's changing our planet.

Like grains of sand that build beaches, these microscopic organisms are constructing something far greater.
