Ocean Biomolecular Observing Network (OBON)
@OBON_Ocean
Endorsed Programme of the UN Ocean Decade that will monitor, research and understand life in the sea by analyzing its biomolecules. Led by @POGO_Ocean
Large-scale, operational #biological observations - including #biomolecular and #biodiversity - is one of the priority topics for the 2025 POGO-SCOR Fellowship Programme ⤵️ Check the Flyer and background documents at pogo-ocean.org/capacity-devel… for more information.
2025 POGO-SCOR Fellowship now open for applications! 🚀 Provides funding for early-career scientists, technicians, postgrads from developing countries to spend 1–3 months at a leading oceanographic institute abroad 🌎 APPLY by 27 April 2025 @SCOR_Int mailchi.mp/40ae0711942b/p…
Aquatic #eDNA presents gaps in data standards & connectivity. A FAIR, federated digital ecosystem with interoperable metadata is key to unlocking its full potential across Europe. 🌍🧬 🧾Read the proposal draft by the #eDNAquaPlan team: tinyurl.com/3mdnjzxd #Science
Environmental DNA researchers from around the world have collaborated to produce this set of guidelines and considerations for implementing eDNA methods to detect aquatic macroorganisms 👉 tinyurl.com/4yj9nbkt #eDNA #Genetics #Biodiversity #Science

"The use of #eDNA technology for the detection of fish diseases has emerged as a game-changing approach to aquatic health monitoring and disease management." What do you think? 💭 Leave your comment! Source: tinyurl.com/mrymxuth #Aquaculture #Biosecurity #Biodiversity
This #eDNA study is focused on patterns in decapod community diversity in Fisheries Management Areas. 👉 tinyurl.com/5n8wr3yb #Fisheries #Aquaculture #Biodiversity
New #OceanDecade resource: new guide seeks to advance the DNA library of marine species 🧬 Produced as part of the #OceanDecade by the West Coast @OBON_Ocean, it aims to advance standards for collecting and cataloging DNA from marine species. 👉ow.ly/Rz6j50VxmOn
🐟 🌍 🌊 From collaboration to cutting-edge satellite monitoring, don’t miss these two upcoming events on ocean observation innovations! 🐠 🌊 🏠 - mailchi.mp/aircentre/mbon…
🧬eDNA is a powerful genetic analysis method that provides information about species present, now and in the past, from the detection of DNA traces in a sample 🤝@OBON_Ocean, a @POGO_Ocean initiative, works to coordinate and promote marine eDNA monitoring around the world [2/3]
🌊 With this increased visibility, we hope that our work contributes to the worldwide collective effort to understand and preserve our ocean 🇪🇺 @BIOcean5 is co-funded by @HorizonEU [3/3]
Update from the @OceanX Around Africa Expedition, with a number of POGO-supported early career researchers on board (plus an @OBON_Ocean rep providing #eDNA training🧬) 🌊🚢⤵️
OceanXplorer continues sailing for our Around Africa Expedition w/ OceanQuest, endorsed by @UNOceanDecade. In partnership w/ @POGO_Ocean we brought 15 Early Career Explorers onboard to explore this excitingly abundant zone. Each day has been full of research. @OBON_Ocean

[2/2] Studying these extreme zones is helpful for understanding how marine ecosystems and ocean biodiversity can change in the future. They also give a glimpse into what our ancient oceans were like before phytoplankton accumulated large amounts of oxygen. @OBON_Ocean
