Same area, but now with the pressure visible: longlines, ropes and other fishing gear litter entangling gorgonians and covering the seabed. Chronic ghost fishing and structural damage that we urgently need to address. #marinelitter #ghostfishing #MPA #conservation @thanasisnikolaou.bsky.social

Clip from the Tokmakia plateau (NE Lesvos): a mesophotic coralligenous reef with dense red gorgonians and complex bioconstructions. This is the kind of “animal forest” habitat our work focuses on documenting and conserving. #coralligenous #gorgonians #oceans @skatsanevakis.bsky.social

🪸New paper out on mesophotic coralligenous reefs in the NE Aegean. We used side-scan sonar + ROV surveys to map gorgonian assemblages and quantify the impact of marine litter in a Natura 2000 site. Open access: www.mdpi.com/2077-1312/13... #marinebiology #Mediterranean #Natura2000 #NEMOTools

New paper is out! We are excited to announce the publication of our new study on the coralligenous assemblages of the north-eastern Mediterranean—one of the region’s most biodiverse yet least explored marine habitats! For details check the following link! nemotools-project.com/2025/11/25/n...

Exciting news! The Nemo-Tools Greek Coastal database ecosystem is now available! Check the link for more details! nemotools-project.com/2025/11/24/e...

Check out our new Infographic for eDNA! This project is carried out within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan Greece 2.0, funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU (Implementation body: HFRI)

Nemo-Tools project at HELECOS Conference! The Nemo-Tools project made a significant contribution to HELECOS held on October 01-04 2025, at Athens. Team member and researcher Alexandra Zachariadou represented the project with an oral presentation. Read more at: nemotools-project.com/2025/10/08/n...

Exciting news from the Nemo-Tools team! 🚀 A new low-cost (€50) passive acoustic toolkit for underwater recordings is here—robust, DIY, and designed to boost #CitizenScience and education. 🌊🎶 📄 Check out all the details in the new preprint: www.preprints.org/manuscript/2...

Exciting news! New paper from the Nemo-Tools team! You can find it at: www.mdpi.com/2077-1312/13... #MarineEcology @nemo-tools.bsky.social

🗑️ As plastic represents the most common type of marine litter, these scientists expressed concern about its impact on marine life globally, particularly in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.

🏫 Continuing its citizen engagement initiatives with a focus on youth, NEMO-Tools team members from #NKUA and #INALE visited two primary schools of Kavala in collaboration to introduce students to key scientific concepts through presentations and laboratory activities.

The most delightful reaction to finding the purple #gorgonian site from our wonderful student Artemis. Truly beautiful site. Will be processing and posting the video footage within a week! Watch this space! 🧪🪸🐠🐟 #fieldwork #marinescience

Our #ROV surveys in Lesvos continue, revealing breathtaking #gorgonian forests—but not without a stark reminder of human impact. #Ghostnets and abandoned longlines haunt these vibrant ecosystems. @nemo-tools.bsky.social @jennieacp.bsky.social #MarineEcology #MarineConservation #Lesvos 🧪🌍🌐

Stunning #gorgonian forests thrive in the coastal waters of Lesvos! Our ROV surveys, conducted as part of @nemo-tools.bsky.social , continue to unveil these underwater marvels. #MarineEcology #MarineConservation 🧪

Exciting news! The NEMO Tools ROV team of @skatsanevakis.bsky.social has begun exploring Lesvos Island, assessing gorgonians & coralligenous assemblages. Two trips down, five to go! Follow along @nemo-tools.bsky.social l 🧪🌊🐠 #MarineBiology #NEMOTools #MarineEcology #Fieldwork

📹 The NEMO-Tools project has highlighted the importance of monitoring biodiversity vulnerable to climate change. 🐢 Researchers, after 31 years of data collection, found that green turtles at Alagadi beach in Northern Cyprus are now laying eggs earlier, attributed to rising Mediterranean water

🔥🌊 The #Mediterranean is undergoing a rapid ecological shift! Our new study in Nature Communications reveals that #MassMortality events have caused a substantial loss of benthic #trait #diversity in just 5 years Read the full study: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #ClimateChange #MarineEcology 🌍🌐🧪

🐠 The NEMO-Tools project was recently presented at the round table event of the SAMESEA project, held at the Archipelagos Research Base in Agios Konstantinos, Samos, Greece.

⚙️ The development of novel, inexpensive hydrophones is one of the innovative features in the Nemo-Tools project. We are happy to announce that this key deliverable is nearing completion!

🚀 Empowering observation and monitoring of coastal habitats is one of NEMO-Tools’ goals, thus, we are thrilled to announce that our prototype Ground Unmanned Vehicle (GUV) is fully developed and ready to embark on its field mission!

🌿 Using 16S & 18S rRNA sequencing for bacterial and eukaryotic communities, scientists have pinpointed how eelgrass beds affect microbiota composition in the Baltic Sea.

🐠 Under the prism of the #EUBiodiversityStrategy2030, NEMO-Tools aims to be a catalyst for transformative change in marine ecosystem management, monitoring and conservation planning.
