A moment to remember! The #ICMBXII community gathered together in Madeira — researchers, students, and practitioners united by a shared passion for #marine #bioinvasions. The conference isn’t over yet — more sessions, discussions, and connections are still to come!

A message from 5 large research centers and Associated Laboratories in Portugal 🇵🇹 to the new Government 👇

I had the honor to present the concept and vision of Campus Azul with its Blue Skills Academy at the United Nations One Ocean Science Congress #OOSC2025 being held in Nice, France 🇫🇷 The dream continues and we keep pushing 💪👇👇

🎥 Hear from Dr. Amy Freestone, one of our #ICMBXII speakers, as she shares her excitement about joining us! She’ll discuss #Restoration and #Remediation of Invasion-Impacted Ecosystems — a key topic in efforts to protect and recover #marine environments affected by NIS.

Meet our 4th keynote speaker at #ICMB2025 - Ana Cristina Cardoso 👇

Meet our 3rd keynote speaker! #ICMB2025 #Madeira: Amy Freestone 👇

The data is in. 2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period. More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements, made by thousands of people over many decades, have been condensed into a single number.

Bad news for climate just announced! In 2024, Earth's average temperature temporarily exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time. This breach highlights accelerating climate risks - toward the end of the "safe zone" defined by the Paris Agreement.🧪🌐🌍 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

📢 Abstract submission for the #ICMB2025 is now open! We are looking forward to hosting you all in #Madeira in October!

🚨 Apply Now: Impossible Things Workshop! 🚨 Tackling impossible challenges in deep-sea research—and we need YOUR ideas! 🌊💡 📍 #Madeira 📅 Apply by 26 Jan – 10 spaces left! A UN Ocean Decade event funded by the @ec.europa.eu project @twilighted-eu.bsky.social More info 👇

Follow this thread for the key themes of ICMB XII! 🌊 We’ll tackle biofouling, emerging pathways, detection tools, policy, restoration, the blue economy, ecological impacts, MPAs and more —bridging science, governance, and innovation. Abstracts submission opens on Jan 6 Details below 👇 #ICMBXII

🌊 Speaker Announcement for ICMB XII! 🌟 Thrilled to welcome @rosscuthbert.bsky.social from @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social as a confirmed speaker! 🎤🔬 Dr. Cuthbert’s research explores biological invasions, their ecological and economic impacts, and strategies for better management.

Multiple datasets will show that 2024 was about 1.6°C above the pre-industrial baseline! And >0.1°C above 2023. We're in uncharted territory!
