Environmental emergencies at sea: the case of the M/N "Costa Concordia"

Let’s go down to the bottom of the sea – Travelling with a submarine robot
The book "Let's go down to the bottom of the sea - Travelling with a submarine robot ", addressed, above all (but not only), to children was inspired by the desire to tell them, in a simple and nice way, some aspects of the research activity at sea: this is how Pollux, a small underwater robot, was born. Together with his friends Astrea (the research vessel) and EM2040 (the echosounder), Pollux tells about some of the explorations carried out on the beautiful seabed of our "Blue Planet".
