Despite frosty temperatures, the TaMOs-team met at Falckenstein beach with Jens Zacharias to record an interview prior to a TaMOs-dive. Basic information on TaMOs were the main focus of the interview, but plans for future activities were also discussed. After recording the segment for NDR 1 Welle Nord the TaMOs-team headed into the Baltic Sea to conduct overdue tests with GOS-loggers and compare the precision of different devices. Icy 2° C water temperature and an air temperature perceived below zero did not restrain the team from that dive.
Even though eelgrass (Zostera marina) is reported to lose its leaves during the cold season, the team was able to document an extended eelgrass meadow. It is known that the seasonality of eelgrass is not as pronounced in the Baltic Sea as in other areas. Nevertheless, the extension and density of the meadow were a little surprise for the divers.
