Marine sponge sampling in Trondheim Fjord by MARBLES partner SINTEF
In January 2022, MARBLES partner SINTEF carried out a two-day sampling campaign for marine sponges, onboard the RV Gunnerus in the Trondheim Fjord in Norway. The sponges were collected from the vast Lophelia coral reef using amazing remotely operated vehicle (ROV) technology and skills of ROV pilots from SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
