One of EcoOcean's main objectives is to promote marine research in Israel and the
main tool used for this purpose is our research ship R/V Mediterranean Explorer.
The ship was custom built according to specific requirements of marine research
in the Mediterranean area and is equipped with extensive research equipment allowing
varied marine studies.
Marine science students from higher education institutions also visit our research
ship and use it to practice modern research methods.
As an environmental organization, we also use the ship for independent environmental
research projects, such as the program for monitoring the Israeli Mediterranean
coast.
