The MESOFISH project (REF: 2025ECLI10) is a three-year multidisciplinary research initiative funded by Fundación…
This year’s DOOS Annual Meeting, “Collective Action, Lasting Change,” marks the fifth year of this gathering and five years of strengthened global collaboration to advance deep ocean observing, building on foundations laid by earlier efforts across the community. As we reach the midpoint of the UN Ocean Decade and enter a new era of ocean governance with the BBNJ Agreement, the meeting will…
One of the JETZON ECOP co-leads, Adamu Salisu, is looking for partners to develop a new project.
It would aim to quantify the flux of particulate and dissolved organic carbon from coastal regions, across the shelf and into the mesopelagic where it may fuel respiration.
He is particularly interested in the tropical west African system (…

Plans are well underway for the inaugural Midwater Science and Engineering Community Conference (MidSEC) announced in September. The conference website can now be found at MidSEC.info. We envision this meeting a bit different than your…
After a break for a few months we plan to restart the monthly calls, each featuring two informal talks.
It is great to announce that Ily Iglesias has agreed to lead on the Pacific timezone call and Adrian Martin will continue to lead on the Atlantic timezone.
If you would like to give a talk please just get in touch at jetzon.org@gmail.com
…The role of fish and other metazoans in the Biological Carbon Pump has long been underappreciated. As part of an effort to identify the processes through which fish, krill, and squid contribute to carbon sequestration — and to evaluate where and how fishing might impact them — we are conducting an IPCC-style confidence assessment of current scientific understanding.
This initiative…
