📢 #Trondheim! This weekend, you're invited to visit the #SmögenToTrondheim crew on their vessel Hrimfare.
After six weeks of sailing, #biodiversity data collection, and community engagement, the crew are in the Trondheim harbor for the weekend to chat and share tales from the journey 🌊⛵
Hrimfare moored next to Ålesund city center
The crew enjoys a sunset on calm water surrounded by low mountains on the fjord near Ålesund
The #SmögenToTrondheim expedition visits #Ålesund
After weeks of biodiversity data collection and community visits, the team is getting close to Trondheim.
They received a warm welcome in Ålesund and shared their work with many interested visitors.

Hrimfare and crew are positioned in the fjord below Preikestolen, large craggy cliff walls rising out of the water in fog
A crew member in cold weather gear lowers sampling equipment into the fjord at the base of the cliffs
Children and adults gather on a grassy lawn in front of tents, table displays, and sailing ships moored at a harbor
From mountains along the fjords to community visits, the #SmögenToTrondheim expedition continues.
The teams uses advanced tech to track #MarineBiodiversity, sharing the excitement of #OceanScience along the way.
📸: sampling below #Preikestolen and a stop at the Children's Sea Festival on Lindøy
Nine people pose at the helm of Hrimfare, all wearing PFDs, the sky is grey in the background
Some team members are seen lowering research equipment into the water off the side of Hrimfare, with sun reflecting off the water
The DiverSea #Hrimfare expedition is almost two weeks in and going strong.
From crystal clear Kosterfjorden, to Tjärnö Marine Lab, Svinesund Bridge, and Idefjord with its darker waters, the team is making great progress and collecting valuable data.

The crew of our expedition from Smögen to Trondheim has been delighted by a lot of public interest and positive reception.
It's heartening to see this support for research to support management of marine habitats!
Now, onwards to data collection 🙌
#MarineBiodiversity #OceanBiodiversity #Fieldwork
The research vessel Hrimfare is in the water in the harbor of Smögen, Sweden, with the expedition team onboard, preparing for the launch event and expedition departure

And they're off! Follow along with the DiverSea expedition team on their five-week voyage from Smögen, Sweden, to Trondheim, Norway. They will use cutting edge tech to monitor marine biodiversity & changes in coastal water color, an indicator of ecological shifts.

We've had a busy spring, meeting and making new connections with partners, stakeholders, and collaborators at conferences.
Here's a quick (non-exhaustive) round-up: www.ntnu.edu/web/diversea...
Two people in hi-viz jackets and PFDs stand at the helm of a boat with a Sintef logo.
A person in hi-viz gear and a PFD stands on the large yellow research buoy in Trondheimsfjorden. The buoy has logos from Sintef and NTNU.
Four people in jackets, hi-viz, PFDs, and helmets stand in front of the yellow research buoy.
DiverSea's @glauciaf.bsky.social joined @dtobioflow.bsky.social, SINTEF, and OBAMA-NEXT to visit the Munkholm buoy in Trondheimsfjorden.
The buoy, part of OceanLab infrastructure, has acoustic sensing, CTD, fluorometers, flow cytometer, plankton imaging, and more & will operate at least 10 years.
Alice Guittard stands at a poster presenting her work in DiverSea with start-up and SME science-industry networking and innovation workshops. The DiverSea and EU logos are displayed.

📌In DiverSea, we bridge naming and conserving.
📌We make data visible. We make species known.
📌And with each name, we move closer to protection.
Because from names, comes action. From science, comes hope. ✨

A name is a promise. It’s how we say: You exist. You matter. We see you. 🦈
The sandbar shark is not just a swimmer of the deep—it’s a sentinel of the sea. Red hornweed is not just algae—it’s part of a living network.
🗓️ 23rd of May | #NameItToSaveIt #TaxonomyRecognitionDay
Through taxonomy, DiverSea enhances our understanding of marine life by developing and refining DNA-based monitoring technologies, integrating diverse data sources, and translating complex information into actionable insights for conservation.
