🪸We study the most flourishing and well preserved coral reefs in the Mediterranean #protectCabliers #OasesInTheDeep

Science based management is the unique way forward to protect our seas!🪸🐟Spanish Government @gobmapa announced to ban fishing activities on Cabliers reefs! A big step ahead towards our final bet: a definitive transboundary protection of this deep-sea oasis! @ICMCSIC

It was great to participate in #ObjetivoPlaneta with @lorenzomila to advocate for the protection of Cabliers' reefs. A key move for 🇪🇸 would be to protect the portion of the reef within its waters, showing its commitment to 🇲🇦 & 🇩🇿. https://t.co/gzIF3n6CIh @rtvenoticias #Canal24H

It has been a great pleasure talking about Cabliers reefs and the urgency to protect them at #objetivoplaneta, with the great @lorenzomila. The more we know, the better we protect! https://t.co/8ZunZT5acd @ICMCSIC @OceanaEurope #canal24H @rtvenoticias

How little we know of deep-sea kingdom! A. Sweetman and collaborators discovered polymetallic nodules can produce oxygen in the abyss! A clear hint on how far we are from sustainable dee-sea mining.

This week we are in Rome for the #GFCM #WestMed Committee to advocate for the creation of permanent protection of the #Cabliers reefs with the help of @ICMCSIC & Alboran Sea countries 🇪🇺 🇲🇦 🇩🇿 🇪🇸 to boost fisheries sustainability. #VMEs #MedFish4ever

Wanna study CWC reefs with us?

An incredibly rich area of Leiopathes and the densest field of Anthomastus ever observed in the Mediterranean. The near-pristine nature of Cabliers FRA never stops surprising! @ICMCSIC @CSICdivulga @UN_FAO_GFCM @OceanaEurope @_EMEPC_ #marine #biodiversity #coral #reefs

We are mapping the Cabliers vertical walls for 3D reconstructions of the associated VMEs in this new FRA. The more we know, the better we protect! 🎯🦐🐟 @ICMCSIC @UN_FAO_GFCM @CSIC @_EMEPC_ @OceanaEurope

In PROTEUS Cruise 🪸🪸🌊🌊 we already reached over 50 biological samples for food web, metagenomic and taxonomic studies!!! Thanks PROTEUS people for such a great effort!!!!! @icm.csic @csic @__emepc__ @oceanaeurope #deepsea #coralreefs #marineconservation #marinebiodiversity

@UN_FAO_GFCM @ICMCSIC @Cabliers_Reefs This is how this 400,000 year-old coral mound looks like - a biodiversity hospot that provides shelter and food to deep-sea wildlife! https://t.co/t18Hmxddxm

Oceana is calling to create a Fisheries Restricted Area in Cabliers, a seamount in the Alboran Sea that harbours semi-pristine cold-water corals. @UN_FAO_GFCM agreed to ban bottom fishing in November 2023, and @ICMCSIC is now researching the area.

🐟🪸 what a reef! In PROTEUS cruise of @ICMCSIC we gathered among the best scientists on deep-ecology for supporting protection procedures! @OceanaEurope @UN_FAO_GFCM @__emepec__ @niozsearesearch

Current meters are monitoring local scale hydrodynamics on thriving Cabliers reefs 🪸. The better we know, the better we protect!!!! 🎯 @ICMCSIC @CSICdivulga @__emepc__ @niozsearesearch @fao @OceanaEurope @Lowell_Inst @UN_FAO_GFCM

In the international PROTEUS cruise, the EMEPC superb guys are assisting us with ROV Luso on Cabliers and Catifas thriving reefs! Stay tuned for mindblowing dives ahead! 🪸🐟🦈 @icm.csic @csicdivulga @utm.csic @__emepc__ @marine.institute @niozsearesearch @fao

⚠️Here we come again! Everything’s set for the PROTEUS Cruise, where we'll explore the thriving reefs of Cabliers and Catifas for a month🪸, aboard R/V Sarmiento de Gamboa! Hours of ROV dives, CTD casts and seafloor mapping are waiting for us! #ProteusExpedition #ProtectCabliers

We are excited to share #OceanWatch, a new 40-minute film with mesmerizing #DeepSea footage from the ground-breaking discoveries on Research Vessel #FalkorToo in 2023. Made with the always amazing @naturalwfacts. Trailer attached, full video here: https://t.co/WmVHvE2KE1

📢PhD opportunities in Ecological Data Science as part of *Leverhulme DTP* On offer: fully funded deep-learning PhD project working with exciting long-term deep-sea acoustic and image datasets!🪸🐟📸🎤👩‍💻 👉More info here: https://t.co/uryxMAU3uD #DeepSea #MachineLearning
