Scouts of the Greek islands – Chios and Lesbos – explored with NEMO-Tools the hidden soundscape of the sea, learning how marine organisms communicate and how human-made and natural sounds travel underwater and affect marine life.

Same area, but now with the pressure visible: longlines, ropes and other fishing gear litter entangling gorgonians and covering the seabed. Chronic ghost fishing and structural damage that we urgently need to address. #marinelitter #ghostfishing #MPA #conservation @thanasisnikolaou.bsky.social

Clip from the Tokmakia plateau (NE Lesvos): a mesophotic coralligenous reef with dense red gorgonians and complex bioconstructions. This is the kind of “animal forest” habitat our work focuses on documenting and conserving. #coralligenous #gorgonians #oceans @skatsanevakis.bsky.social
