Excursions with Research Vessels
During the summer, we offer two activities for the public on board the Tjärnö Laboratory's research vessel R/V Nereus. On one, we collect algae and animals from the seabed and take them to the station for further research in the lab. On the other, we lower a remote-controlled underwater camera and get a live broadcast from the exciting life in the depths of the Kosterfjord.
Excursion – Diversity of the Sea
Booking in advance.
From the research vessel Nereus we make measurements in the water and collect algae and animals from the Kosterhavet Marine National Park, and continue to look more into them in the laboratory in stereo microscope. Entrance to Tjärnö Aquarium is included.
