Ever wondered where we’ve sampled and where we haven’t? Well if you came to my talk, then now you know! Huge thanks to #17DSBS for having me present our recent work in the strategic prioritisation of biodiversity data collection 🗺️ 🌎. As always, it was a wonderful space to share this science in!

Great to see our global habitat classification presented at #17DSBS by Prof. Kerry Howell! We hope this work contributes to the ongoing conversation on the efficacy of our current & future ocean conservation efforts 🗺️ 🌊. Come say hi if you have any questions!
