Highlighting the work of Dr Belén Arias, the Science Manager for Species Discovery & Sequencing at the Ocean Census

These small, "worm-like" creatures might not have the charismatic appeal of octopuses or dolphins, but they play a crucial role in ocean ecosystems and offer valuable insights into biodiversity and evolution.

In 2024, the Ocean Census achieved exciting milestones in advancing the understanding and discovery of marine biodiversity.

It's time to shine a light on the top ten remarkable new marine species from 2024.

Whether it’s learning to balance accuracy with relatability, harnessing the power of storytelling, or turning the abstract into action, CommOcean offered an ocean of insight for communicators.

This species discovery workshop will allow us to uncover potential new species from the Nazca Ridge expedition.

These awards reflect our commitment to empowering taxonomists who are dedicated to identifying and classifying life in our oceans.

By exploring where marine species data is being captured and how geographic biases impact global climate policy, we can begin to develop more inclusive, effective climate strategies.

In the icy depths of the Arctic Ocean lies a world that remains largely unknown to science, a hidden realm brimming with unique marine life and untapped biodiversity.
