Some compiled images of colleagues from RBINS/ODNature, Ghent University and VLIZ on board of our brand new floating office ‘RV Belgica’ during the 2022/28 monitoring and sampling campaign on 7-8 November. These monitoring campaigns are conducted monthly.
The activities included collecting (and bottling) seawater samples at different depths during a tidal cycle, filtering for further analysis in the laboratory (BGCMon, BGPart), using eDNA for the detection of marine species (ZEROIMPACT), launching the LISST-Video Plankton Recorder (TURBEAMS) and testing of the EARS application (Eurofleets Automatic Reporting System), an event logger developed by the Belgian Marine Data Centre (BMDC) of RBINS.
