The picture was taken in Riomaggiore during the meeting with Franco Bonanini, president of the Cinque Terre National Park. One project was proposed by EOT at the meeting, and was favourably accepted by the Park.
The project, "Explaining Sailing & Science in the Park", which will be carried out in cooperation with the INForMando Group of INFM-CNR, consists of a series of guided lectures on a sailing boat in the Cinque Terre Marine Protected Area. The topics of the lectures will range from "Biodiversity of the Seafloor" to "Climatic Changes", to "Clean and Renewable Energy" and to "Environmental Safeguard as a Key to Sustainable Tourism". During these lectures, designed as truly "hands- on" workshops at sea, a range of media, such as photographs and video including underwater) will be produced. These are to be used as a support material for primary and secondary schools both at local and national level.
