We’re building an alliance of ocean experts to accelerate the pace of species discovery. It's just reached a major milestone.
The Ocean Census Science Network is now at 500 members 🥳🎉

🙌 That’s a wrap on the #ArcticDeep 2024 #expedition!
Groundbreaking dives along The Svyatogor Ridge have unveiled secrets of the deep. Thanks to our team, partners, and the crew of the Kronprins Haakon for making this possible! 🌊🚢

🌬️ Over the last few days, we've encountered some fascinating #Arctic vent #fauna!
These chemosynthetic #ecosystems create truly unique habitats that attract specialized species of shrimps 🦐, worms 🪱, and even sandworm-looking isopods! 🦀.

🇦🇷 We’re thrilled to have Dr Pamela Rivadeneira on board #ArcticDeep.
Pamela’s #research has focused on the #diversity and reproduction of deep-sea starfish, and her career has seen her describe a new genus and new #species.
We’re excited to learn from her expertise!

After dropping through 3000m of water, @rev_ocean's ROV lands within meters of its target.
🌊 These vents serve as unique islands in the abyss, home to incredibly unique species.

🌊 A few days in and our #ArcticDeep expedition has already revealed some exciting finds!
The first push core samples from the ROV dive to 3000m on the Knipovich Ridge have returned a beautiful array of deep sea invertebrates like crinoids, sea stars, and sponges.

👀 Expedition update!
We caught up with our participant scientist Jann Vendetti, who’s currently taking part in the Philippine Sea #Expedition as part of the @INTL_JAMSTEC Voyage.
Here are some the team's finds from the first few days: oceancensus.org/philippine-s…

Off to the Arctic with The Nippon Foundation Nekton Ocean Census project on the RV Kronprins Haakon. Lovely to have shipmates from UiT The Arctic University of Norway and REV Ocean with us!

Great discussion on the activities of @oceancensus with partner organizations; global equity in co-developing taxonomic expertise will be one of the long lasting legacies of this program among others and glad to be involved @AlexDavidRogers

We need more independent marine research. The #DeepSeaMining industry purports the deep sea as a very barren place, low in biodiversity. However, now we know there is greater biodiversity than expected, says @AlexDavidRogers at #OceanDecade24.

@niwa_nz are finding some a bounty of possibly #deepsea new species from Bounty Trough. But remember it is places like NIWA and the TePapa museum collections where these specimens are stored allowing scientists to access & study them #taxonomytuesday youtube.com/watch?v=kHPbejVG…

🦈🦷 @DanielMMoore_ with shark tooth at least 3M yrs old from the Bounty Trough, extinct from climate change.
🌊 A vivid reminder of the transformations our oceans face today, and why we're on a mission to discover life before it's too late.

🌊 🌊 Stormy seas have hit the Bounty Trough expedition!
Waves up to five meters high and strong winds are buffeting the RV Tangaroa.
Stay anchored to our updates as we weather this storm together on our expedition! @niwa_nz @Te_Papa
