Big thanks to @arnela10.bsky.social for presenting the #MARCO-BOLO project at the #LivingPlanetSymposium in Vienna this Thursday.

His talk covered the project’s approach, results, identified bottlenecks and the need for better links between in situ and remote sensing communities!

🌧️ Day 3 - No sailing today aboard the #RVSimonStevin for the MARCO-BOLO team due to weather, but the #ROV got some harbour testing in!

Prepping for more data collection once conditions improve.
