At Merman Conservation Expeditions, our mission has always been to protect and conserve marine ecosystems through innovative research, education, and community engagement. Today, we are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Shark References, one of the most comprehensive global databases for shark biodiversity and research.

This collaboration brings together our expertise in marine conservation with Shark References’ unparalleled resources on shark species and their ecosystems. 

We are thrilled to announce that the popular Greek android app "Μέδουσες στην Έλλαδα" (Jellyfish in Greece) has officially transitioned to Merman Conservation Expeditions Ltd from BiodiversityGR. This marks a significant step forward in ensuring the app continues to deliver accurate and up-to-date information about jellyfish and similar marine species in Greece.

Why this matters?

The Jellyfish in Greece app has been a cornerstone for:

• Education: Helping the public identify jellyfish species and understand their role in marine ecosystems.
• Citizen Science: Empowering users to report jellyfish sightings, contributing valuable data to scientific research.
• Awareness: Providing insights into the potential risks of certain species and promoting safe practices at sea.

By transferring the app's management to Merman Conservation Expeditions Ltd, we are ensuring its continued functionality and enhancement, aligning with our mission to promote marine conservation and education.

What’s new?

Under Merman Conservation Expeditions Ltd, we aim to:

• Enhance features: Introduce new functionalities to improve user experience and engagement.
• Update information: Regularly update the app’s database with the latest scientific data on jellyfish and related species.
• Strengthen citizen science efforts: Provide tools for easier reporting and analysis of jellyfish sightings.
  
  

How you can help?

Your participation is vital to the success of this initiative. Here’s how you can contribute:

1. Download the App: If you haven’t already, download "Μέδουσες στην Έλλαδα" from the Google Play Store.
2. Report Sightings: Use the app to log jellyfish sightings in inaturalist and provide as much detail as possible.
3. Spread the Word: Share the app with friends and family to expand its reach and impact.
