June 13th, 2025
In the context of World Oceans Day, the MuseOcéano event, organized by the Valparaíso Natural History Museum, was held on Saturday, June 7th. The team from the plankton laboratory of the Department of Oceanography and Environment (DOMA) of IFOP participated as exhibitors.
The event featured various stands and talks by experts in different areas of ocean research. The IFOP group was made up of marine biologists Constanza Sandoval, Débora Albornoz, and Yanara Figueroa, who actively participated in disseminating the work carried out at both the DOMA laboratory and the Institute, bringing the museum’s many visitors closer to the fascinating and diverse world of zooplankton.
At the IFOP stand, magnifying glasses and real samples of ichthyoplankton and zooplankton collected in Chilean waters were used. Some of the oceanographic equipment used in the sampling process was also on display.
Through its three enthusiastic exhibitors, the IFOP thanks the Valparaíso Natural History Museum for its warm invitation to participate, as well as all those who attended and took the time to learn a little more about the ocean.
