Meet the nudibranchs with Fredrik Broms

Nudibranchs look like nothing you could imagine, until you’ve seen them all. Flamboyant, dazzling, mesmerizing, words hardly do justice to their extraordinary shapes and vivid colors. On March 11, Fredrik Broms - a passionate marine biologist and nature photographer - will introduce us to the fascinating world of nudibranchs with a 20-minute documentary followed by stories, photos and Q&A. 

The event takes place at The Arctic University Museum of Norway and is organized in collaboration with Rissa Citizen Science.

Nudibranchs (hear: nu-di-branks) are absolutely amazing. But we don't want to spoil Fredrik's stories, so we will be short here!
Around Tromsø, about 50 species of nudibranchs can be found in the kelp forests and among the seaweeds along the shore.

Two good reasons to join the event
First, it’s a rare opportunity to meet Fredrik Broms, who isn’t on Instagram, Facebook, or any other social media platform. His website offers a glimpse of his talent as a photographer, and his work on nudibranchs is truly remarkable. When someone combines deep knowledge with the gift of storytelling, it’s an event you don’t want to miss

Another reason to join this event is that nudibranchs depend on kelp and other seaweeds to thrive. It will be exciting to monitor their presence along Sørsjetéen and in Telegrafbukta, where we restore kelp forests with volunteers.

This event is the first step in getting to know nudibranch species and understanding their ecology. So whether you are already a Kelper (or thinking about becoming one) you should definitely join us!
