After 6 days of 24hr traveling and data collection in the international waters north of Libya, facing rough weather conditions, Archipelagos’ research boat Naftilos, reached yesterday afternoon the port of Valetta in Malta. After a short stop for refueling, Naftilos will continue its important research in the framework of Accobams Survey Initiative: the first large scale cetacean survey in whole Mediterranean Sea.
For this research the specialized and multinational crew of Naftilos – from Libya, Holland, India and Greece – uses latest technology of marine bioacoustic equipment.
If we do not cover the important knowledge gaps that still exist about the marine life of the Mediterranean, it is impossible to protect it!
