NEW VACANCY: Workshop Coordinator The Ocean Census team is expanding and we are looking for a Workshop Coordinator to join the team. Details to apply on our website ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e6YKxFJP The Workshop Coordinator is responsible for developing and managing all the species discovery workshops (including leading some of these) and the curation of all specimens collected through the Ocean Census. Additional responsibilities and opportunities are phased into the development of the role from April 2025, and this may include participating in some research expeditions. Deadline for applications: 15th December 2024

The next Ocean Census 'Species Discovery Workshop' begins today at the Universidad Católica del Norte in Chile. This past July and August, the Ocean Census Science Network joined forces with the Schmidt Ocean Institute (SOI) team on an expedition to the Nazca Ridge, an underwater mountain range 900 miles off the coast of Chile. During this expedition, scientists identified 20 potentially new marine species and mapped a new seamount. This mission was the third in a series of SOI expeditions to the Salas y Gómez and Nazca Ridges in 2024, following discoveries in January and February that revealed over 150 species previously unknown to science. Many of these species and known fauna were observed in new areas, expanding scientists’ understanding of marine biodiversity. The new discoveries will be registered with the Ocean Census, adding to the catalogue of marine biodiversity and facilitating future species discovery. As part of this effort, Universidad Católica del Norte will host the next Ocean Census Species Discovery Workshop in Chile. Over the next 3 weeks, scientists, including five taxonomists from the Ocean Census Science Network, will analyze the material collected during the expeditions. The workshop will fast-track species discovery and ensure type material is preserved at the National Museum of Chile.

How do you engage the public with scientific research? This week, the Ocean Census communications team is excited to be joining the wider marine science communications community at #CommOcean 2024 conference. CommOcean takes place every two years and features expert-led workshops, networking sessions, and discussions on the latest trends in ocean science communication. We're looking forward to connecting with fellow communicators, exchanging ideas, and exploring ways to make vital yet often complex ocean research more accessible to the public, policymakers, stakeholders, and those outside the scientific community. Engaging diverse audiences in marine science is important for driving informed action and creating a deeper understanding of our ocean. Are you at #CommOcean this week?

We are pleased to announce that Ocean Census are supporting an additional 7 taxonomists in the discovery of new species, through the Ocean Census Awards. Meet the awardees below! 👇 Supporting taxonomists is fundamental to the Ocean Census mission. Empowering taxonomists to uncover and document new species expands our knowledge of marine biodiversity. Understanding marine biodiversity allows us to better protect species at risk and understand their roles in our planet’s health. The discoveries funded by the Ocean Census Awards will be formally registered to the Ocean Census database. 🌐 In addition, we invite other scientists to register their own species discoveries to the Ocean Census. By creating this global repository, we can collaboratively build a comprehensive record of marine life.
