Marine animals play a key role in locking #carbon deep in the #ocean, slowing #climate change. This study finds that fishing has already cut this service in half, with climate change expected to further reduce it in the future. @gaelmariani.bsky.social @oceanicu.bsky.social

This past week in Sopot ended on an optimistic note felt across the large OceanICU consortium. An Ocean of Thanks to our partners at the Institute of Oceanology Polish Academy of Sciences - Maciej Telszewski and Dominik Krzymiński - for hosting us and for the incredible hospitality! #OceanICUAM25

The #OceanICUAM25 started today hosted by IO PAN. After a welcome by Jan Marcin Węsławski & Richard Sanders we got into what OceanICU is investigating: are industrial processes like fishing affecting the oceans ability to absorb carbon? Stay tuned as we get into the details! #HorizonEU #Ocean

The OceanICU Janus moment! Janus: Roman legend symbolising transitions. OceanICU partners will meet next week in Sopot, Poland, for a key milestone: the halfway point of the project. We will be posting updates during the meeting next week. Follow #OceanICUAM25 to keep up with the latest #HorizonEU

There is a hidden Climate Hero in our Ocean! It’s the Biological Carbon Pump and it plays a trillion-dollar role, according to Fabio Berzaghi, referencing a new paper he is lead author on. Read the paper: rdcu.be/efknr #EUMissionOcean #HorizonEU #EUGreenDeal #ClimateMitigation #OceanCarbon

On #WorldWaterDay, let’s remember the importance of glacier preservation! Melting glaciers release fresh water into the ocean, which can alter ocean circulation patterns. These changes can potentially affect the biological carbon pump. Learn more about the biological carbon pump ocean-icu.eu

OceanICU aims to provide tools to help decision makers examine #carbon and thus #climate impacts of a variety of #ocean resource extraction activities, which will support the ambitions outlined in the @wmo-global.bsky.social #StateOfClimate report.
