The discovery, the westernmost documentation of the species in the Mediterranean, was made possible by the collaboration between researchers from the ICM-CSIC and the Aquatours Almería diving center through the Observadores del Mar platform.

Details are included in a recently published scientific article, based on the Blanes Bay Observatory time series, the longest known record of marine viruses.

A new study led by the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) demonstrates why conservation efforts must integrate the combined effects of multiple extreme climate phenomena, rather than focusing solely on isolated incidents.

Findings, detailed in a study led by ICM-CSIC, are key to understanding how active faults form and evolve, with important implications for assessing hidden seismic hazards in this region of the western Mediterranean.

Coordinated by the ICM-CSIC, the initiative will install an intelligent deep-sea observatory at 350 metres depth between Blanes and Palamós to monitor ecosystem recovery in real time.

This is the main conclusion of a study led by ICM-CSIC, which reports a drop of more than 60% in the local supply of this essential nutrient from fishing between 2000 and 2023.
