Our team has been selected by THALAS to participate to their oceanic expedition for meeting scholars and "heroes" fighting for ocean preservation worldwide. They took our scientific protocole on board for collecting many marine samples in the Mediterranean Sea first, and in one year from now, from allover the world during 5 years.
See their Website and Application for more information : https://thalas-ocean.org/
