Data is the currency of ocean observation, but only if everyone speaks the same language. Without standardisation, building a clear picture of Europe's marine environments becomes much more challenging. EMBRC Executive Director Nicolas Pade comments on why data standards are key to the Blue Economy. Watch the full interview: swll.to/xH2S7U

Last week in Crete, we co-hosted the @ANERISproject 3-day genomic training workshop at @hcmr_gr. Hands-on modules covered marine #eDNA field sampling, sequencing lab prep, and turning raw genomic data into actionable biodiversity insights. Thank you to all partners, trainers, and attendees! #MarineGenomics #OpenScience

As coordinator of #eDNAquaPlan, EMBRC along with 18 European partners has delivered a Blueprint, 2035 Roadmap & Policy Factsheet to transform how aquatic #eDNA data is shared and reused for biodiversity monitoring across Europe. Read more: swll.to/KIiSTX

How can we make marine biology more accessible and bring greater visibility to our hidden oceans? EMBRC’s Anabelle Chaumun joined Clark Marchese on the Oceanography podcast to discuss how powerful storytelling connects people to vital marine science. 🎧 Listen here: swll.to/oex46Zh

Billions of people depend on the ocean, even if they'll never visit it. This summer, we asked the EMBRC team to share photos from the coasts they visited as a reminder of our shared connection to, and reliance on, a clean, healthy ocean. Take a look at some of their sea views! Thank you to our team members who shared their photos.
