It is known that this survey trip aims to update and supplement data on biodiversity, environmental quality and marine biological resources, and collect marine and environmental samples for biochemical and microbiological research and evaluate the potential of marine biological compounds. The research teams will focus on analyzing factors related to marine pollution, the presence and accumulation of microplastics, persistent organic compounds and developing remote sensing data for environmental monitoring and aquaculture.
