They are architects building houses while floating through oceans. They are engineers capturing atmospheric carbon, atom by atom.

While you breathe, they work. While you sleep, they build. While you read this, they're protecting our climate system.

Who are they?

#OceanGuardians

In a world visible only under a microscope, a story unfolds that's changing our planet.

Like grains of sand that build beaches, these microscopic organisms are constructing something far greater.

This past week in Sopot ended on an optimistic note felt across the large OceanICU consortium. An Ocean of Thanks to our partners at the Institute of Oceanology Polish Academy of Sciences - Maciej Telszewski and Dominik Krzymiński - for hosting us and for the incredible hospitality! #OceanICUAM25

The #OceanICUAM25 started today hosted by IO PAN. After a welcome by Jan Marcin Węsławski & Richard Sanders we got into what OceanICU is investigating: are industrial processes like fishing affecting the oceans ability to absorb carbon? Stay tuned as we get into the details! #HorizonEU #Ocean
