Yesterday on Nicolás Piccoli TV news, CIIMAR-UP researcher Irina Gorodetskaya commented on a recent article warning about the possible disappearance of Arctic ice by 2030 😟 #CIIMARnews sicnoticias.pt/especiais/ocea…

How strong is the upwelling at present? Will it support the persistence of marine forests in northern Portugal? @Blueforesting collects and analyzes underwater temperature data to unlock insights into the health and longevity of these vital habitats. EEA and Norway Grants CIIMAR-UP

Seaweed forests fix large amounts of carbon. Much debate exists however on whether some of that carbon ends up sequestered, and sequestration can lead to tangible climate change mitigation. We synthesized the literature to figure this out... 🧵doi.org/10.1111/brv.12… 📸I. Garrido

Family day CIIMAR-UP ! Proud of all these young explorers! Curiosity is the key! 🤩

Wrapping up this year’s editions of BYT and BYT+ with a proper closing ceremony, in which the students presented the work they developed throughout the year. Congratulations to all participants and to our best fellowship winners! #CIIMARresearch #CIIMARtraining #BYT

#Remedigrass project ended but left its legacy: already 100m2 of seagrass restored and a new expansion in the way! 🤩💪 As usual, we keep on monitoring the associated biodiversity recovery! João Pedro Coelho Ana Sousa Daniel Crespo CESAM - Centre of Environmental and Marine Studies CIIMAR-UP

Isabel Iglesias, CIIMAR-UP researcher, was featured in Público explaining the upwelling phenomena that occur on the Portuguese coast and that justify lower sea surface temperatures, compared to the North Atlantic. publico.pt/2023/08/18/azu…… #CIIMARnews #climatechange

We already have a #program for CIIMAR-UP 's biggest Science Communication annual event, which will take place jointly with “Dia do Porto de Leixões”! 😎 #CIIMARopenday #CIIMARevents #CIIMARscicomm #openday #openday2023 #scicomm #scicommunity #oceanliteracy

How exciting is this? A new seagrass habitat is flourishing in the Minho estuary, first-ever described in our paper doi.org/10.3390/rs1516… This incredible arrival means more marine life and a healthier ecosystem! Urges to protect it! #Seagrass ATLANTIDA 🇺🇦 Benthic Ecology Team CIIMAR

The BioPradaRia Project project (short) video is out!👇Check our work of the last 5 years @ Ria de Aveiro, to restore & manage seagrass meadows, together with stakeholders!🌱Universidade Aveiro CESAM - Centre of Environmental and Marine Studies Marine Biotechnology & Aquaculture Research Group #MAR2020 SDU Climate Cluster

🥁It's finally available! Our scientific reports on the first assessment of #bluecarbon ecosystems in mainland #Portugal are now available online (links below - in Portuguese - English versions are on the way!). A project by: Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian CCMAR - Centro de Ciências do Mar ANP|WWF

Excited for the start of #LifeSeaGrassRIAWild project for #seagrass #restoration, its #biodiversity and ecosystem services!!… and feeling fortunate to work (again) with this great team!! 😍 CESAM - Centre of Environmental and Marine Studies CIIMAR-UP Centre for Functional Ecology Universidade de Vigo #haedes #oceanalive #geomar #SDU #CIRA #APA #ICNf

This Black Friday, rather than indulging your nearest retailer, think about the real bargains available from the natural environment. Seagrass provides commodities completely free to the user. Lets make sure they're still available to users in the future. While stocks last....

CIIMAR's new website is live! 🕸️ Take a look and dive into our latest updates! 💻 ciimar.up.pt #CIIMARnews

Our roadmap for defining and selecting traits in fish, invertebrates and zooplankton is now available! Hopefully, this will foster standardized trait nomenclature and bolster research in trait-based functional ecology. rdcu.be/duhNx CIIMAR-UP IPMA @MARE_centre
