🌊 Meet Nuria Rico Seijo, Nekton's dedicated #LabManager

We're proud to spotlight Nuria, aboard the RV Kronprins Haakon for the Arctic Deep expedition. A seasoned marine biologist, Nuria has extensively studied zooplankton from the Iberian Peninsula to the Maldives.

👩🏻‍🔬 Conoce a Nuria Rico Seijo, directora de laboratorio dedicada de Nekton

Estamos orgullosos de presentar a Nuria, a bordo del RV Kronprins Haakon en la expedición #ArcticDeep .

On #BiodiversityDay we look back to 2022 where DEEP supported the Nekton with one of our submersibles, leading to key scientific findings and world-firsts for the Maldivian government.
