Public engagement and outreach is being carried out to educate society on the results of the project and the benefits of marine microbiome biodiversity.

Planned outreach activities include:

• New dynamic communication products such as animations, videos and interactive tools
• Exhibitions embedded in the Naturalis Museum and at the microbial zoo Micropia Amsterdam. Naturalis Museum is one of the leading natural history museums worldwide with over 400,000 visitors each year and has about 42 million specimens of plants, fungi, animals, fossils, rocks and minerals! Micropia Amsterdam is the only museum of its kind, displaying the invisible world of microorganisms!
• A dynamic MARBLES exhibition stand for dissemination of the project at key events e.g. Leiden European City of Science 2022, World Ocean Day, European Maritime Day etc.
• A final outreach event as well as a final industry stakeholder event was organised at the end of the project to showcase MARBLES' results to the public in an accessible and understanding way.

MARBLES outreach activities and resources are made available here.
