I'm so excited about @oceandiscleague.bsky.social's new partnership with the Blue Nature Alliance, and the potential for low-cost accessible technologies and exploration methods to enable marine conservation efforts.

Happy Earth Day! 🌏

See the First Detailed Illustration of an Ancient Deep-Sea Mountain A BU-led team of scientists analyzed a Pacific Ocean seamount that is teeming with biologically diverse corals and sea creatures

Alexander von Humboldt was an incredible naturalist who transformed how we see mountains. Now, he has inspired a collaboration between art & science that transforms how we visualize seamounts. So excited to share this beautiful piece with the world… on a newly explored seamount in US waters!

Multi-faceted examination of a deepwater seamount reveals ecological patterns among coral and sponge communities in the equatorial Pacific - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Multi-faceted examination of a deepwater seamount reveals ecological patterns among coral and sponge communities in the equatorial Pacific

🧽πŸͺΈ Deep-sea research on a Pacific seamount reveals distinct coral & sponge zones shaped by depth, currents, and oxygen levels.

The study highlights the understudied & unique biodiversity of #seamounts and the need for targeted conservation.
