Mapping the Gaps: New Global Assessment Reveals Stark Biases in Ocean Biodiversity Data - Challenger 150 New global study reveals stark biases in ocean biodiversity data, highlighting urgent gaps in deep-sea, southern hemisphere, and invertebrate records. Discover the key priorities for building a more s...

🌍🚨 New global study finds huge blind spots in ocean biodiversity data.
Why it matters: without better data, whole ecosystems risk being left out of conservation plans.

This analysis was made possible through the development of a statistically-based, custom pipeline, enabling authors to classify ~19 million OBIS records as either benthic or pelagic datasets. We’re thrilled to say that both the final datasets, and the code to recreate them are #OpenAccess too!

So, if we are to prioritise ocean biodiversity data collection to deliver a sustainable ocean, where should we focus?

Our First Deep-sea Expedition in Japan, Partnering with JAMSTEC Press Release: The Ocean Census embarks on its first deep-sea expedition in Japan, partnering with JAMSTEC.

🚨 Deep-sea discoveries alert!

In the Southern Ocean's deepest trench, @schmidtocean.bsky.social expedition discovered never-before-seen hydrothermal vents and deep-sea species.

Singular Mission to Chart Atlantic’s Deep-Sea Biodiversity in focus at UNOC3 More than 40 international researchers joined a gathering in Nice to discuss Atlantic Ocean deep sea life mapping initiative, led by PML’s Prof Kerry Howell.

An international coalition of marine scientists convened at #UNOC3 in #Nice today to discuss unprecedented collaborative efforts to map the #biodiversity of the #AtlanticOcean’s #DeepSea ecosystems, in turn enabling better protection for #VulnerableMarineEcosystems 👇 pml.ac.uk/news/singula...

🔍Mapping the Gaps: New global study reveals huge biases in benthic & pelagic biodiversity data – but what does this mean for science & conservation, & how can we address it?

Seasonal transcriptomic shifts reveal metabolic flexibility of chemosynthetic symbionts in an upwelling region | mSystems The oceans are undergoing rapid change, and marine animals together with their associated microorganisms must adjust to these changes. While microbes are known to play a critical role in animal health...

Bacterial symbionts enjoy their seasonal produce! Our new work shows how chemosynthetic symbionts adjust their energy sources during seasonal upwelling in the Tropical Eastern Pacific, highlighting the resilience of animal-microbe partnerships to environmental change journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Excited to be in Paris for the DTO-BioFlow Data Grants Holders Workshop! Discussing crucial topics like effective biodiversity data management & sharing in open-access data repositories like EMODnet Biology. Let's make data FAIR for better conservation! #DTOBioFlow #BiodiversityData #OpenScience

From regional knowledge sharing to inclusive policymaking, this session highlighted how collaboration is key to shaping effective, equitable deep-ocean governance—especially in a rapidly changing ocean.

🤝 Let’s keep building global bridges from the seafloor to decision-making.

This morning, DOSI, IPOS, and the African Network of Deep Sea Researchers (ANDR) came together to co-host the Town Hall event at #OOSC2025 “Connecting the Depths: Collaborative Deep-Ocean Networks Shaping Ocean Governance”
