marine biology

Best Abstract Award & scientific talk about my PhD project entitled “Adaptive Traits in HMA versus LMA sponge holobionts under Ocean Acidification”. The workshop took place at the Observatorio Marino de Cambio Climático – Punta de Fuencaliente (OMaCC; La Palma, Canary Islands) and aimed at discussing best practices of environmental characterization in natural CO2 vents and included dives to recently discovered vent sites.

This conference showcased recent developments in marine biology and ecology; state-of-the-art technologies available at marine stations and institutes; how to access biological resources and marine research infrastructure; how to improve services provided by marine stations; and, the impact of the services provided on industry and society.

Ocean acidification (OA) is a global environmental threat, which has developed since industrialization as a result of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. Graphical Illustration by Jana Efremova using Biorender and Illustrator.
