On 17 December 2024, at the annual Christmas Fair in the Port Vell of Barcelona, FECDAS and ICM organised an in-person talk, focused on the variety of living organisms in the oceans and the maintenance of ocean ecosystems. The event was particularly of interest to citizens and specialised user communities, such as divers. ANERIS was part of the initiative as the team presented to attendees the key objectives of the project and how it aims to improve the overall understanding of marine biodiversity through observation and monitoring.
