EMBRC March/April 2022 newsletter: Dive in to find out about recent activities & events

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.

When you think of World Ocean Day, you might imagine sharks, whales, dolphins, and turtles – charismatic animals that beguile us with their intelligence, ingenuity, and fascinating behaviours. 

But the vast ocean is teeming with life and even the tiniest organisms play their part in keeping our planet healthy.
