VLIZ launches SoundLib: an open database of North Sea underwater sounds, supported by @LifeWatchVLIZ. The platform helps science, policy, and society understand how noise impacts marine ecosystems. 👉 https://t.co/FRuCZzrtdh #underwaternoise @VLIZnews @GLUBS1

"Waves of Resonance" reveals hidden soundscapes of the ocean. With unique data from the #LifeWatch Belgium observatory, art & science meet below the surface. 👉Read more about this special collaboration https://t.co/KJDNyaigLO #OceanDecade #acousticnetwork

NELOS divers are now using @WRMarineSpecies in their digital dive log! Each recorded species is linked to a scientific name and AphiaID — a great step toward supporting citizen science & marine biodiversity research. 👉Read more: https://t.co/j6sW83qnqD @VLIZnews @LifeWatchVLIZ

The @LifeWatchVLIZ SeaWatch‑B reports a 7× surge in venomous lesser weever fish along the Belgian North Sea! With waters already at 20–22 °C this early summer, stings are more likely. @VLIZnews #marinecitizenscience 👉 https://t.co/VMGJdPhi4p

This week we are at the @LifeWatchERIC BEeS Conference at @HcmrImbbc We are chairing a session dedicated to Taxonomy later today. Come and play our “Shell I reveal myself” game at our booth! https://t.co/yVgfW49Sue

The LifeWatch ERIC Biodiversity & Ecosystem eScience Conference starts today at the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research - HCMR in Heraklion https://t.co/rOdQFXf6Oj

Curious about current citizen science projects and how people are helping advance scientific research? Find out tomorrow at the Citizen Science Fair in Brussels! The #LifeWatch Big Seashell Survey will be there – come say hi! 🐚 👉 https://t.co/cJ2mFEWxHr

Schools awarded the EU Blue School label for their research on marine litter and biodiversity, following the principles of the #LifeWatch citizen science initiative SeaWatch-B. 👉Read more: https://t.co/aZVwQg1RyB @VLIZnews @provinciewvl #HorizonEducatief

Introducing the World List of Octocorallia, a companion to the World Lists of Actiniaria and Scleractinia https://t.co/gOYd4bNfFI #marinespecies

A first, very nice example of how #LifeWatch ETN can be used for meta-analyses & collaborative research! Meta-analysis of tracking data reveals variable arrival times of European eels at sea for spawning, influenced by migration speed & geographic location https://t.co/d4ioOWzxLS

Our silver eel biotelemetry meta-analysis is published in @FishFishJournal ! We gathered biotelemetry datasets on eel migration from 18 locations across Europe to analyse their migration behaviour. What a collab! Check it out at https://t.co/62E1qatfwA! Eel photo @pepebrix

FOD Public Health & Mobility & Transport launched an underwater noise info campaign, supported by #LifeWatch @VLIZnews. It raises awareness about activities like shipping, sonar, wind farm, and sand mining increasing sound pressure. ▶️Free materials https://t.co/4Emo2I346Y
