Jellyfish (and their blooms) are a fundamental part of marine ecosystems, significantly contributing to carbon transport and storage. An ocean without jellyfish would not be a healthy ocean.

This past year I reviewed an MS using this technique and was very impressed by this new technique. #MarineLife

30 years of research, 10 years of "we should", and a year of collating pix and writing.
Sönke and I show (mostly for the first time) images of how organisms produce, use, and interact with light in the sea. #bioluminescence #fluorescence 🦑🧪🌊

Citizen science is a huge part of marine conservation and one of the most fun ways of helping our seabeds. Whether you’re out snorkelling or rock pooling, you can record your findings by submitting them to the iNaturalist app.
