We are contacting you to request your expert insights on the current status and future direction of science and policy on mesopelagic ecosystems.

Mesopelagic ecosystems are a vital component of a thriving global ocean. However, despite the recent acceleration in scientific discovery, considerable geographic and scientific gaps still prevent a…

I have been analysing the elemental composition of jellyfish species from the Cameroon area. My aim is to produce a paper on the potential contribution of jellyfish to the carbon sink, using the available C, H, N, S data for our jellyfish species coupled to their abundance in the region. 

I am seeking a collaboration for the molecular characterization of our…

Forwarded by DOSI and open to anyone with an interest from JETZON:

Environmental Defense Fund are considering submitting a proposal to the Ocean Visions request for proposal which targets the development of an…

Hello!

I'm a molecular ecologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, working on a comparative population genetic study of mesopelagic fishes as part of WHOI's Ocean Twilight Zone initiative. As part of this project, I'm conducting RAD-based population genetic analysis on a suite of widespread mesopelagic fish species, and am looking for as broad a global distribution of samples…

I am collaborating with two early career colleagues (Corday Selden and Laura Ganley) to put together a session for next year’s Aquatic Sciences Meeting (https://www.aslo.org/charlotte-2025/). The session will focus on the role of ecology, evolution, and biological adaptation as drivers of Earth’s climate (see image). 

The twilight/deep ocean is a critical environment in…

Over the past year, the WHOI’s Ocean Twilight Zone Project has been working with Artechouse – an immersive exhibit company – to design an experiential art installation on the ocean twilight zone. The exhibit opens September…

In January 2025, for the first time in several years, DOSI will host a “DOSI Day” event alongside the Deep-Sea Biology Symposium.  

For those who have not attended before, “DOSI Day” is a free, informal, and popular gathering for members of the deep-ocean community interested in bridging gaps between research and policy. Along with being an excellent opportunity…

Co-design is a process that will enable transformative ocean science by:

• Involving all concerned stakeholders
• Engaging all stakeholders throughout all stages of knowledge creation and dissemination

Building on pre-existing relationships, networks and shared experiences, while remaining open to new voices…

Do you identify yourself as a deep-sea early career ocean professional or interested in deep-sea science-to-policy?
If yes, the Deep Ocean Stewardship Initiative (DOSI) wants to hear from you!
 

DOSI is…
