Today we presented in Faial the documentary “Meia Milha para Baixo”, directed by Pepe Brix. The film showcases the work carried out by our team to explore the deep-sea habitats of the Azores, featuring the challenges we faced and some of the most relvant advances made in the field.

The documentary Meia Milha Para Baixo premieres on Sunday at Teatro Faialense. It dives into the Azores' deep sea, featuring coral gardens, hydrothermal vents, sponge grounds and other hidden wonders. Through unseen footage, it reveals the challenges and innovations behind our research in the Azores

Our most recent publication in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social illustrates how cost-effective deep-sea imaging tools, such as the Azor drift-cam, can effectively build local capacity, promote equity in deep-sea science and generate essential data for the conservation of marine benthic habitats.
