Important in our work is outreach activities and citizen science. Underwater photographer Christian Skauge and Gulen Dive Resort has been important collaborators since 2010. From this the citizen science activity has grown and has been crucial to discover and describe species species, and for outreach activities.

Scientific collections are important in our research. They represent history of science in the field, taxonomic baseline for names and how we comprehend species. Fieldwork is important to understand nature, collect specimens as representatives of species, and to keep vital collections as research infrastructure. By this we combine data from morphology, genetics, ecology and biogeography to do integrative research. We contribute to activity run by the Norwegian Barcode of Life programme (NorBOL) to barcode all species from Norwegian waters.

Species are distributed irrespective of borders, our collaboration with colleagues worldwide, and in many other respects overarching, work we work together as a group, a group we call – nudibranchs without borders.
