Tânia Lourenço, PhD at Ghent University in Belgium, visited us to advance her research on fatty acid degradation in Artemia.

Thanks to the AQUAEXCEL3.0 TNA, she was able to access our cutting-edge molecular biology facilities.

Scientific expedition reveals non-native species in Bijagós, an archipelago protected by UNESCO

Expedition to the Bijagós Archipelago, Africa:

👍 The good news? The marine biodiversity, regarding invertebrates, is far richer than expected.
👎 The concern? Non-native species are already in this archipelago, likely brought by ships...

🆕 Despite being made up of completely different species, marine communities in distant oceans develop surprisingly similar food webs — all because they are subject to similar environmental conditions.

With such a long coastline, it’s no surprise that recreational fishing is big in Portugal.

That’s why CCMAR is part of Working Group on Recreational Fisheries Surveys, which aims to help shape EU fisheries policy by gathering data.

This month, we hosted the annual meeting at UAlg!

Join us for an in-depth look at the MIRAE oceanographic expedition. In this seminar, Caio Ribeiro will discuss the geochemical and ecological significance of deep-sea environments and highlight their growing importance in environmental science and conservation research. tinyurl.com/ccmarseminars
