Centre d'Estudis Avançats de Blanes (CEAB-CSIC)
@ceabcsic.bsky.social
We’re a public research center of the @csic focused on aquatic biology and ecology, both marine and freshwater ecosystems. We're water, we're science! 💧🔬🌱🪸
💧 On #WorldWetlandsDay, we revisit this @csic.es video showing how CEAB researchers study coastal ecosystems in places like Delta de l'Ebre, including #wetlands, marshes and dune systems. Watch it here 🔗https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TLDezHCVAY&list=PL1RYaFqQfNGTZG0rpRKjMJAXQRgaP_-nR&index=85
