Submitted by Admin on

IMBBC presented the NAUTILOS Citizen Science project “Marine Creatures” created in the Zooniverse platform during the Athens Science Festival 2022 «Worlds of Tomorrow» (#ASF2022) which took place in Technopolis of the Municipality of Athens (Greece) during 21 – 23 October 2022. The visitors had the opportunity to assist scientists to identify marine benthic sessile organisms using underwater photos from natural or anthropogenic habitats (underwater caves, ports, artificial reefs). The online project “Marine Creatures” was launched on 7th of September 2022 and has already reached 1517 responses from citizen scientists.

The Marine Creatures Citizen Science project of Nautilos is launched!

Submitted by Admin on

IMBBC leads the Citizen Science activities of the Horizon 2020 project Nautilos. Within this framework we have created a project in platform Zooniverse called Marine Creatures. The aim of the project is to help us identify the sessile and often unnoticed benthic communities living on hard substrates using high-definition underwater images from artificial reefs, ports and natural sea caves. Morphological characters can be used to identify the taxonomic groups of these sophisticated marine communities. If you would like to participate in this voluntary project and help us please click here and get involved!

Submitted by Admin on

Digging up the oceans' past

‘Digging up the oceans’ past’ is a crowdsourcing project of the zooniverse platform developed within the framework of EMODnet Biology. An interactive project was created in order to attract volunteers into digging up the oceans’ past.

Tutorials and Guides in English are provided to enhance this experience and general information about the overall project is given to the citizen scientists.
The main task concerns transcribing data and metadata of a chosen historical marine survey. In this case, a report for two species of fish of the genus Lepadogaster from an expedition dating back in 1904-1910 in the Atlantic Ocean.
