Largest expedition to Madeira’s deep sea began today

The expedition, coordinated by GEOMAR Helmholtz for Ocean Research Kiel, started today in the seas of the Region.

The work will take place around research in the areas of marine biology and ecology.

The initiative, carried out through a partnership with MARE-Madeira/ARDITI, is taking place on board the ship RV Maria S. Merian.

It should be remembered that this project promises to explore the lesser-known sea of ​​Macaronesia and also represents an opportunity for the Region to demonstrate its value to global research efforts in deep waters.
