EMBRC Israel: The Interuniversity Institute for Marine Sciences in Eilat

A new paper published in Nature Communications has utilised EMBRC’s EMO BON network to make an important discovery about marine biodiversity richness. In this Q&A Matthias Obst, University of Gothenburg explains the significance of this new publication.

The digitalisation of science offers massive potential to EMBRC’s work towards better understanding of biodiversity in the ocean. Tackling complicated topics requires huge volumes of data that we must properly mine to advance marine science and meet the 30x30 goals.

The Traversing European Coastlines expedition (TREC) will wrap up on July 30 after visiting countries across Europe through 2023 and 2024. During its final month, the expedition visited Greece with a one-day stop at the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR) in Crete.
