Explore aquatic biodiversity
The VIRTUE method is a great way for educators and students to learn about and measure biodiversity of aquatic environments through the accumulation of organisms on CD-shaped discs (biofouling).
The VIRTUE website is currently under update but you can continue to use it.

BiodivOcean is a new project funded by the EU Erasmus+
from 2024 to 2027. You can find the project
