Colourful intertidal biodiversity 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 #intertidal #biodiversity #marinelife

🌈 Stunning view from Lille University’s Marine Station (@univlille.bsky.social) at #Wimereux this morning 🌊 #MarineScience #rainbow #biodiversity

Great energy yesterday at the Marine Station of @univlille.bsky.social! We were thrilled to welcome the Parlement des Jeunes pour l’Eau, in partnership with the Agence de l’Eau, for a hands-on look at how we study and monitor plastic pollution. 🌊🔬 @katynicastro.bsky.social @gerardozardi.bsky.social

Wrapping up a great week of intertidal fieldwork — boots full of seawater, hands full of samples, and loggers full of data! 🌊🦪📊 @katynicastro.bsky.social @lorenzocozzolino.bsky.social @gerardozardi.bsky.social @univlille.bsky.social #intertidal #fieldwork #biodiversity #climatechange
