From the 5th to the 9th of May, 2024, Brazil will once again host a #SIL International Congress on #Limnology: the 37th #SILCongress! “Building bridges between science and society to reduce the effects of fragmentation and degradation of inland waters”. Join us for #SIL2024!

Five intense days of discussions, exchanges, and sharing. Nearly 600 participants from 43 different countries. So much knowledge brought to light! We are proud to announce that this was the first SIL Congress with a carbon offset certificate! See you in Canada!

Today is the day! I'm waiting at the end of the posters room!

Excited to visit @nupelia_uem for the first time to learn about the Postgraduate Program in Inland Water Ecology and promote the #Galápagos Limnology studies carried out by ESPOL-Galápagos of @Espol @DEC_INV_ESPOL @aramirez1979 @CarlosMonsalveA @cparedesverduga @CBonecker

"It took you about 1 week to consume your credit card" #SIL2024 #plasticpollution

Our first plenary of the day is about to start! @SILcongress

Today I've presented preliminary results of my mesocosmos experiment under the #ResPond project about large branchiopods and ecosystem services on temporary ponds at @SILcongress in #FozdoIguaçu

Sadly, our congress is coming to an end. All that remains is the last plenary by Ewa, our winner of the Brian Moss Student Competition, and the closing ceremony. Don't miss them! Thank you for being part of our @SILcongress in Foz do Iguazú 😊

@M_Aleja_08 presented her speech titled Temporal and spatial responses in aquatic insect diversity to land cover gradients in the Middle and Lower Cauca basin, Colombia Results of a four year monitoring program project funded by EPM 🇨🇴💧 @RLimnologia @SIL_limnology @SILcongress

Section on pollution and contamination of inland waters at #SIL2024 is over. During 4 days we had 26 oral talks and 31 posters. The section demonstrated clear shift of research focus from classical pollutants such as heavy metals to pesticides, microplactics, pharmaceuticals.

2nd part of the special session hosted by the WG Lake Resoration at #SIL2024 featured great talks on eutrophication control by Bryan Spears🇬🇧, Taynara Fernandes🇩🇪, Quishi Shen🇨🇳, Ana Prestes🇧🇷, Frédéric Aragao🇫🇮, Åge Molversmyr 🇳🇴, Paolo Dezuanni🇮🇹, Linda May🇬🇧 and Mike Lurling🇳🇱

SIL in Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) has started! Great opportunity to knowledge exchage! A lot of great talks @SIL_limnology #sil2024

Do not miss this talk happening today @SIL_limnology SS22 - Challenges and opportunities for implementation of the global freshwater biomonitoring agenda. Salão Scendere 04 | 14:00 to 16:00 local time #aquaticfungi #monitoring #conservation #MoSTFun #FUNACTION #SIL2024

"We need more activists freshwater scientists" - great claim in the Tickner plenary talk. We would change "freshwater" to "inland" as with "freshwater" we miss almost 50% of inland waters that are saline #SIL2024

Making our waters clear again. Kick-off presentation by the WG co-chair in the session restoration ecology #SIL2024 on the importance of a system analysis that is guiding to a package of measures giving the highest chance of success.

Updates on WG advances are on the way
