Gerade fand in Nizza die dritte UN-Ozeankonferenz der Vereinten Nationen statt, gemeinsam ausgerichtet von Frankreich und Costa Rica.
Im Interview zieht Katja Matthes, Direktorin des @geomar_de, zum Abschluss Bilanz: Sie teilt persönliche Eindrücke, ordnet die zentralen Ergebnisse ein und erklärt, welche Bedeutung sie für den Schutz unserer Meere haben.

#GEOMARMedia | Das Geheimnis im tiefen Meer – Wie wenig wissen wir? Darüber spricht der SWR mit Dr. Sylvia Sander, Professorin für Marine Mineralische Rohstoffe am GEOMAR. Zu hören ist die Sendung im Podcast „SWR Aktuell Global - der Podcast“.
“Science begins with sustainable observations. We need to do that together,” said Dr Toste Tanhua at the UN Ocean Conference 2025.
He coordinates the innovation platform SOOP (Shaping an Ocean of Possibilities). SOOP aims to develop structures and technologies for ocean observation, improve access to ocean data and thereby expand knowledge about the ocean. #UNOC3 #UNOC2025
Today is World Ocean Day! 🌊
On this special day we want to present the #FUTURO research campaign off West Africa. Find out more in the video:
🤿 Abtauchen direkt vor der Haustür: Das Projekt „Snorkeling City“ geht in die zweite Runde!
Die je nach Wetter grau-grüne oder blaue Oberfläche des Wassers kennt an der Ostsee jedes Kind. Aber was verbirgt sich darunter? Das können jetzt rund 400 Schüler:innen aus Kiel, Neumünster, Preetz und Hamburg erkunden – mit Maske, Schnorchel und Flossen.

🐟 ❗ Why Europe’s Fisheries Management Needs a Rethink
Every year, total allowable catches and fishing quotas are set across Europe through a multi-step process – and yet many fish stocks in EU waters remain overfished. A analysis published today in Science by researchers of GEOMAR and @kieluni reveals that politically agreed-upon catch limits are not sustainable because fish stock sizes are systematically overestimated and quotas regularly exceed scientific advice.

22 May 2025/Kiel. Every year, total allowable catches (TACs) and fishing quotas are set across Europe through a multi-step process – and yet many fish stocks in EU waters remain overfished. A new analysis published today in the journal Science by researchers of the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and Kiel University reveals that politically agreed-upon catch limits are not sustainable because fish stock sizes are systematically overestimated and quotas regularly exceed scientific advice. In order to promote profitable and sustainable fisheries, the researchers propose establishing an independent institution to determine ecosystem-based catch limits that management bodies must not exceed.
🌀 Small-Scale, Big Impact: New Insights to Marine Biodiversity around the Cape Verde Islands
🌊 New study links comprehensive interdisciplinary datasets with small-scale physical ocean processes

20. May 2025/Kiel/Mindelo. Why is the ocean around the Cape Verde Islands teeming with life despite lying in one of the most nutrient-poor regions of the Atlantic? A new study led by the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel provides answers. By analysing two decades of interdisciplinary observational data, the research team identified three key small-scale physical processes — eddies, internal waves and wind-driven island wakes — that drive the upward transport of nutrients from the deep ocean to the surface. These local dynamics boost biological productivity and shape the distribution of marine species in the region. The study demonstrates how seemingly chaotic ocean patterns can reveal underlying ecological structure and paves the way for the further development of a Digital Twin of the Ocean.
