A name is a promise. It’s how we say: You exist. You matter. We see you. 🦈 The sandbar shark is not just a swimmer of the deep—it’s a sentinel of the sea. Red hornweed is not just algae—it’s part of a living network. 🗓️ 23rd of May | #NameItToSaveIt #TaxonomyRecognitionDay

When you know my name, you begin to see my world. 🏡 Species like the white piddock and bioluminescent microbes may seem hidden or humble, but their names unlock their roles, their stories, and their place in our shared ecosystem. 🗓️ 23rd of May | #NameItToSaveIt #TaxonomyRecognitionDay

A name is never just a name. It’s the beginning of a story, and the first step toward protection. 🧬 From long-snouted seahorses to delicate marine meadows, taxonomy gives life visibility. It connects the invisible to the unforgettable.🌊 🗓️ 23rd of May | #NameItToSaveIt #TaxonomyRecognitionDay

🌊 This #BiodiversityDay, let’s give aquatic biodiversity the spotlight it deserves! From plankton to whales, freshwater to deep sea, aquatic life is vital to our planet’s health. Learn what #MARCO-BOLO is doing to help: 🧷 marcobolo-project.eu 💙 #BlueBiodiversity #Marine #Freshwater #Coastal

#MarineBiodiversity ... 🐟 feeds global food chains 🌿 sequesters carbon 🌊 protects coastal populations 🐚 has irreplaceable cultural value 🐠 supports much of life on earth A sustainable future means 🔎 researching, 🌊 protecting, and 🙌 taking action for #biodiversity #BiodiversityDay

We're reflecting on the upcoming #BiodiversityDay. Through #MarineBiodiversity monitoring across Europe and beyond, DiverSea researchers see how biodiversity is key to sustainability of our societies, economies, and cultures. Join us in taking action for our marine and coastal biodiversity!

As #BiodiversityDay approaches, we’re sharing what drives us to advance biodiversity research, along with resources to learn more and take action. First up: DiverSea partners are motivated to develop and use new technologies to expand our ability to observe and understand marine biodiversity.

DiverSea is celebrating #BiodiversityDay on 22 May! All week, we'll share posts highlighting partners in DiverSea who are advancing marine biodiversity research and connecting that research to impact. Follow along, and follow the #BiodiversityDay hashtag to be part of the global celebration.
