Final chance to nominate your species discovery to the WoRMS Top Ten! If you published a marine species in 2024, click the link below: Deadline for nominations is Friday 7th February.

Throwing it back to our Macaronesia expedition in #Tenerife. The @piscesvisub was used to document the benthic biodiversity down to 300m. It allowed the team more time at depth, while divers explored the biodiversity in shallower waters. Expedition:

Now what are you then?! 🪳🌊 🤔 Chief Scientist Patricia Esquete examines a suspected new species of isopod, from the @SchmidtOcean #AntarcticClimateConnections expedition. Species discovery in Antarctica 👇

The Indian Ocean Workshop team visited the specimen collections at @NRF_SAIAB this week. The collection houses over 1 million fish specimens, representing nearly 6,000 species! Alongside amphibians, tunicates, and cephalopods. The collection 👉

Why do we care about deep-sea worms? 2024 Ocean Census Awardee, Dr Bergmeier, says: “While small and overlooked, Solenogastres are part of a broader conservation picture, and studying them can reveal unique adaptations.” 👀👉 #WormWednesday

Some beautiful images coming through from the #AntarcticClimateConnections expedition. We wish the team all the best as they reconstruct past ice sheet dynamics, and characterise the area's benthic biodiversity.

On #PenguinAwarenessDay, meet the largest fossil penguin ever discovered! 🐧 Kumimanu fordycei lived 57 million years ago, but was added to the World Register of Marine Species as recently as 2023! @WRMarineSpecies More about this prehistoric penguin:

That's a wrap on the 17th Deep-Sea Biology Symposium! Huge congratulations to our team members, Alliance partners, and Ocean Census Science Network colleagues who presented at the conference. #17DSBS

RT @BelenOcean: It was wonderful to present at the 17th DSBS. I enjoyed to talk about this project as I hope it helps to raise awareness ab…
