Rome, July 15, Sala del Refettorio Biblioteca della Camera dei Deputati Nilde Iotti, Via del Seminario 76
On July 15, the ISPRA Major Oceanographic Vessel will be presented at the Camera dei Deputati: not just a new research infrastructure, but the concrete symbol of a collective commitment to the sea, to science, to future generations. The vessel represents one of the key interventions of the Marine Ecosystem Restoration (MER) Project, the largest investment planned by the PNRR for the protection of the marine environment: 400 million euros intended to protect and restore fragile ecosystems, starting with those that are submerged, invisible and mostly unknown. A project of great national scope, with ISPRA as the implementing body and the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security as the titular administration.
