Yesterday, I shared some of my PhD research on plastic pollution in the deep sea at #MICRO2024 What a great week of sharing it has been!

Great collaborative work with researchers of @EawagResearch

Eawag researchers are travelling on the Azores, taking pictures of #plankton with the #Aquascope underwater microscope camera. They have been invited by sailandexplore.com, which aims to sample plankton. The team was supported by @AzoMarineLitter and @OkeanosUac



⚠️Check out our newest publication on how cold-water octocorals interact with microplastics! 🪸📸🔬 In the paper you will find detailed descriptions of those interaction! 👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr.…

⚠️ New paper out!!! Excited to share our new paper on how cold-water octocoral interacts with small #microplastics using high-resolution video analysis 🪸🌊🔬 Thank you to all the co-authors for their contributions to this work!! Read here: doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr.…

Yesterday our team member @YazzRodrgz presented in Coimbra at the seabird conference our recent work on how corys shearwaters can be key bioindicators on plastic pollution to support policies Check more here dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.envi… and on her twitter

Very glad to have presented this long-term work doi.org/10.1016/j.envi… yesterday at #CoimbraSeabirds. Looking forward to the final day of an incredible @TheSeabirdGroup conference, filled with great scientists and insightful knowledge. @AzoMarineLitter @OkeanosUac @FRCTAzores

📢 NEW PAPER OUT!!! Our article "Anthropogenic particles determination in northern krill (Meganyctiphanes norvegica) from the Azores region: A keystone species for marine food webs" 🦐🦐🦐 has just been accepted in @HAZMAT_journal Soon the proofs!!! 💪💪 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


A manta ray checking our manta net!!! 😃 Yesterday, on a field trip to the Princess Alice seamount to study floating microplastics, our manta net passed the performance test of one of the Mobula tarapacana in the area! 🌊🐟 #marinelitter #fieldwork


Our researchers @Joaomigpereira and @YazzRodrgz attended the IX International Symposium on Marine Science #ISMS2024 in Spain this week, where they presented a chapter of their PhD work on the workshop about Marine Litter #BAMAR 🌊

Yesterday, we did beach sampling for the Ocean Travelers project of the @SmithsonianEnv We collected 100 items in 15 min by 3 people! As usual for oceanic islands, most debris was from distant sources. Check more about this interesting research👇 serc.si.edu/participatory-…

For the Spanish speakers, our group member @YazzRodrgz was interviewed 🎤📽️by @RTVECanarias about our recent publication about Cory's shearwater being implemented as a bioindicator to monitor plastic contamination in the Canaries. Check the news here 👇

🔸 Casi 13 millones de toneladas de plástico llegan a los océanos cada año. Un nuevo estudio en el que ha participado la @ULL ha utilizado a la pardela, por primera vez, como un indicador para determinar cuántos plásticos acaban en las costas canarias.



Our coordinator @ChrisKPham and the @OkeanosUac director attended the final meeting of the project “Azores EcoBlue” to present the results of material flow analysis (MFA) of commercial fishing gears in the Azores. Check➡️ecobluegroup.com/azores-ecoblue/ #circulareconomy #marinelitter

We truly appreciate the recognition that our recent study on Cory's shearwater as a bioindicator for monitoring floating #plastic pollution in the North Atlantic has gained in the Portuguese and Spanish media!
