In cooperation with Underwater Heritage Institute in Sozopol (Bulgaria), a UNESCO Category 2 Centre, two weeks of underwater research in the northern part of Dugi Otok (Croatia) have successfully come to an end!
Conducted from 17 to 28 August, the research continued last year's successful cooperation and focused on deep-sea mapping of the seabed.
The aim of the project is to survey and document areas deeper than 60 metres, located in the open sea and difficult for divers to access.
The surveys were conducted using sophisticated scanning equipment, including a multibeam echosounder and side-scan sonar.
The most interesting and promising sites were then further investigated using the ROV (remotely operated underwater vehicle).
The analysis of the collected data is yet to follow, and we are already looking forward to new discoveries ๐ and to continuing this valuable international cooperation in the next research season! ๐ค๐๐
