While we were trialling acoustic equipment with our SEAMPHONI partners, GREENOV, in Madeira last week, a sperm whale breached just a few meters away! SEAMPHONI is an EU-funded project improving how Europe monitors and safeguards marine protected areas. seamphoni.eu

Artists Lena and Eldar visited Madeira last week and worked with our Megafauna team for a new art/science collaboration. Brainstorming, data collection and sperm whale sightings during fieldwork! We have great expectations for this collaboration -- stay tuned!

#DeepOmics just won a MARE-Évora Mini Grant! Led by Soraia Vieira, researcher at MARE-UÉvora, and joined by Paola Parretti at MARE-Madeira, this project will explore the biodiversity of deep-sea sediments. Stay tuned for updates!

Last week, 5 of our students took their posters and presentations to Peniche and participated in the European Marine Biology Symposium #EMBS! We're proud to see the next generation at MARE-Madeira already leaving their mark on the scientific community!

Congratulations, Dr. Mieke Weyn! Mieke successfully defended her thesis on the movements and social behaviors of short-finned pilot whales in the North Atlantic. Her work aids science and conservation (including a potentially important corridor between Madeira and the Canaries!)

New project: #HydroPulse has kicked off! From June 22 to 23, we were in Athens at HydroPulse's kick-off meeting. Working with our partners across Europe, this project will create novel technologies to help #hydropower plants: (+)

This weekend, some of our youth ambassadors and research team joined SPEA's Scientific Illustration Workshop! This fantastic workshop was led by the talented Catarina Varatojo and held at the Natural History Museum of Funchal!

Hoje viajamos até ao oceano através da fotografia e do pontilhismo, obras que participaram na exposição da 1ª edição do concurso #MARtístico!

Continuamos a recordar as obras que brilharam na exposição da 1.ª edição do nosso 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐨 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐭í𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐨. Hoje, trazemos uma combinação única de traço, palavra e fotografia. E tu? Como vais expressar a tua ligação ao oceano?

O segundo workshop da Academia Azul foi dedicado à arte de comunicar o #oceano! 𝐀𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐚, 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐬 𝐨 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐝𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐚𝐬 𝐀𝐳𝐮𝐢𝐬, 𝐝𝐞 𝟖 𝐚 𝟏𝟎 𝐝𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐥𝐡𝐨: mare-madeira.pt/events/tecno...

Na exposição da 1.ª edição do #concurso #𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐭í𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐨, a biodiversidade e a história do nosso #oceano ganharam vida através de diferentes olhares. Três formatos diferentes, a mesma paixão pelo #mar. INSCRIÇÕES ABERTAS PARA A 2ª EDIÇÃO: mare-madeira.pt/events/marti...

Mais do que aprender os primeiros passos para criar um negócio e praticar pitches em equipa, o Workshop de #Startups mudou perspetivas. Mas vem aí o próximo workshop... de 8 a 10 de julho!

Entre dinâmicas desafiantes, cianótipos e pitches falsos, o Workshop de #Startups Azuis focou-se no desenvolvimento de modelos de #negócio, com acompanhamento e aconselhamento dos mentores. Agora, temos o Workshop de #Tecnologias Azuis, de 8 a 10 de julho:

Last weekend, our ambassadors Diana Dias and Diana Costa headed to Lisbon to participate in #COOL26, where they joined debates, met organizations, and proved that the drive to protect the #marine #ecosystem unites the entire #Macaronesia region:

Meet the mentors of this year's Blue Skills Workshop! This year, we're focusing on blue #engineering, with experts in marine technology #innovation from academic and business sectors.

Ao longo das próximas semanas, vamos mostrar algumas das obras selecionadas que brilharam na exposição da nossa 1.ª edição do concurso #MARtístico. É a nossa forma de homenagear o talento incrível que passou por aqui e de o inspirar a fazer o mesmo!

Junta-te a nós no Workshop de #Tecnologias Azuis! Só precisas de ter entre 16 e 30 anos, residir na Madeira e ter vontade de aprender coisas novas (e até partilhar o que já sabes, se fores do grupo dos que percebem da coisa!).

Last month we had the opportunity to be part of #MIUT, the Madeira Island Ultra Trail, in a very special way! After registrations sold out, some participants were able to secure their place through #donations to partner organizations, and we had the privilege to be one of them!

We have a new doctor! Congratulations to Eva Iñiguez for successfully defending her PhD thesis this month! Eva studied organic UV filters (e.g. from sunscreen) in the marine environment, demonstrating their presence across a wide range of species and throughout the water column.

Gostas de engenharia? O Workshop de Tecnologias Azuis da Academia Azul chegou! Para jovens dos 16 aos 30 anos, é uma experiência gratuita para jovens interessados em aprender a usar criatividade para criar alternativas de ferramentas de investigação de baixo custo para explorar o oceano.
