Thanks to our participants for a successful workshop in South Africa! Hopefully they will spread the knowledge of the deep-sea💧and sponges🪸 to their own countries and institutes.

What a fantastic day at the Iziko Museum. It's not just about white sharks and coelacanths 😊 The marine biodiversity is amazing due to the fact that South Africa is between two oceans: the Atlantic (cold)🥶 and the Indian Ocean (warm)🥵.

Waking up in Cape Town, South Africa, with a breathtaking view on Table Mountain from my balcony 🤩. First day of our "Deep-sea Biodiversity and Applied Taxonomy Workshop" at the Iziko Museum of Natural History! @sponbiodiv.bsky.social @biodiversa.eu

Well, according to my analyses I have discovered at least 7 new species of golf ball #sponges 🏐 in the North Atlantic! And yes, paper and pens are still for me the best way to visualize this, especially when the evolutionary trees 🌳 are large! #nameaspecies #taxonomy #biodiversity @biodiversa.eu
