POGO@pogo-ocean.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe biennial POGO-27 Science Meeting will take place from 22-26 February 2027, hosted by Invemar in Santa Marta, Colombia. Pre-registration is now open, and accepting applications until 17 July 2026. Find out more about the meeting's themes and how to attend at: pogo-ocean.org/about/pogo-m...
#OpenData are essential if we want marine science to be transparent, comparable, and usable for real-world decision-making. That’s why EMBRC’s EMO BON DNA-based datasets are fully #FAIR and available to all 🔗 Discover more and access the data: https://swll.to/d2RZK9 @embrcspain.bsky.social
