Scientists at the Marine Biology Station Piran, National Institute of Biology on the Slovenian coast will join researchers around the globe in a worldwide Ocean Sampling Day (OSD) on 21st of June 2015. MBP/NIB scientists will collect and process samples in the Bay of Piran at the Oceanographic Buoy Vida sampling station.

This Sunday (June 21st) the EU Project Micro B3 (Marine Microbial Biodiversity, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology) will perform for the second time the world wide Ocean Sampling Day (OSD). The enthusiastic reactions of all parties participating in the first OSD event on June 21st 2014 motivated us to repeat OSD in 2015. OSD 2015 will be accompanied by the citizen science campaign MyOSD.
