The EuroMarine OYSTER team is co-organising the Enbluement satellite event on "connecting science and arts to expand our belonging to the ocean" which is taking place on April 9th, 2024 as part of the Ocean Decade week in Barcelona!

This two-part event will explore new ways towards harmony with nature, expanding the scientific approach through sensory and artistic perceptions and interactions.
