More than 800 marine species newly found, after the other two years involved in governments, museums and the ocean rode, the global alliance was created to accelerate the discovery of maritime life.
Sharks, sea butterfly, sludge dragon, bamboo choral, water bear, water bear and shrimp after collaboration after collaboration after 10 global expeditions and eight species discovery workshops.
“The last two years were transformed by the ocean’s culari: the pioneers of the forged keys have established a global network of scientists involved,” OLIVER STEEDS, OCAN STEEDS, Director of Ocean Census, In a statement.
While the oceans take most of our planets, it has not been done a lot to protect his biodiversity, to manage the conservation of the life of the ocean and establish sea-protected seas. Members of the United Nations Agreed with the joint covenant
In 2023 to protect biodiversity at high sea. Over 100 nations
Including the United States, they agreed to protect 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030. Until the year.
“Oceans cover 71% of our planet, but only about 10% of the sea life has been found so far, leaving 1-2 million species yet without documenting” celurbill Mitsuyuki Unno, Executive Director of the Nippon Foundation.
The Alliance was created by the Nippon Foundation and Nekton in April 2023; About 400 organizations participate in its activities, and 93 scientists were funded in expeditions and research projects in an effort to accelerate the identification and ocean census of a new species. celurbill on his website. The process can last until 13.5 years, some species can disappear before documenting.
Pacific Shark Research Institute Dave Ebert He said in a video that knows that we have other new species, “we can develop conservation methods if necessary.”
The final faucets of the expeditions launched by the ocean censuses, submersibles and deep sea robots to discover new species of 5000 meters below sea level. Species were studied and confirmed in dozens of global laboratories.
Some species found include:
Guitar shark
Ebert, the guitar shark is also known as the “Lost Shark Type” 200 m Depth of Mozambique and Tanzania in Africa. This shark has 38 well-known species throughout the balloon and shares the characteristics of sharks and rays. The guitar Shark Family is among the 10 most threatened groups of vertebrates and two-thirds are threatened.

Turridrumpa sp gastropod
380 – 400 m found in new caledonia water and vanuatu, in the south Pacific, is one of the 100 most recent gastropods that have just identified this predator. These deep sea snails inject toxins in their prey, harpoon-shaped teeth with venous.
