Calypso Science is pleased to participate in a joint research project with the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanography, in collaboration with the University of Auckland. The research project focuses on the fine-scale physical characterization of the seascape and its impacts on spatial distribution and connectivity of marine populations, with a comparative approach on two different but highly-valued marine environments : the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park in New Zealand and the Port-Cros National Park in the Mediterranean Sea.

The seascape concept provides a useful framework to study and interpret how the physical structures and processes in the ocean define regions with distinct characteristics that can shape ecological patterns in the marine environment.
