Lars Harms (AWI), the famous Dugong dugong from Abu Dabab and me during the 'Red Sea Marine Biology' excursion (Red Sea, 2006)

During the low tides the majority of the intertidel mussel beds running dry for about 5 hours - enough time to explore these fantastic habitats (Wadden Sea, 2009)

"Wat een Wad - Watt'n Watt" was the motto of the ICBM Summer Tour in 2010. In cooperation with the University of Groningen we hired their Discovery Truck as a mobile laboratory for experiments in different schools around Oldenburg (Emden, 2010)
The young students had to conduct several experiments during a two hour lesson (Emden, 2010)

Stickleback sampling with Nikolay Voronoy (Far East State University, Department of Marine Biology and Aquaculture, Russia) at a small freshwater pond for the subsequent population genetics analysis (Russia, 2010)

Sampling by snorkeling was also part of this field trip - the first time for me in the North Sea/Skagerrak/Fjord (Tjärnö, 2012)
Anyway, that was the main place to be - click to enlarge (Tjärnö, 2012)
