Get on board the Eilean vessel to learn about the sea

Get on board the Eilean vessel for a day to participate in citizen science activities with the IOC/UNESCO Ocean Literacy team and Panerai in the framework of the UN Ocean Decade.

Citizen science is a fascinating way to get everyone involved in data collection and make people aware of how important it is to support researchers around the world to monitor the health of the ocean and its seas.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

The activities are free of charge and will be organized in two different one-day tours on April 27th and April 28th with departure and return to La Spezia (Liguria, Italy).

To participate in the one-day activities, fill out the form by April 20. Selected participants will be notified by April 22. In case of bad weather or unsuitable diation the activities will be cancelled, participants will be notified the day before the event.
