On June 30 at 18 h, the participation of the Marine Research Centre in the project ‘Mes do Medio e os Océanos’, organized by Afundación, the Social Work of ABANCA, continues on the occasion of the celebration of World Environment Day, June 5, and World Oceans Day, June 8.
The final talk before the summer will be given by Tania Ballesteros Otero, researcher in the Coastal Ecology Group, who will introduce the public to the characteristics of the sea cucumber and its role in the oceans.
During the lecture, Tania will begin with an introduction to these marine animals, providing a general overview of their external characteristics, their “superpowers,” and their main curiosities. Once immersed in the fascinating world of sea cucumbers, the speaker will emphasize their importance for the oceans and the issues surrounding them, finally showing how ECIMAT and the Coastal Ecology Group of CIM-UVigo are contributing their grain of sand to help mitigate these problems.
The talk will be broadcast through the channels of #AfundacionEnCasa and Campus do Mar.
After the summer, this initiative will resume with three more lectures.
