The vessel specialises in studying oceanic microbiomes and scientists will be hosting workshops on board to show their research and speak about issues relating to our oceans.
John Maytham spoke to Thulani Makhalanyane, who is an associate professor at the University of Pretoria and coordinated this project. Makhalanyane says the ship will have a number of researchers from different disciplines on board, and prior to this project, very little research has been done on the oceans that are geographically close to us.
Along the West Coast of Africa essentially no major studies have been done identifying the type of micro-organisms that are contained within these oceans. Thulani Makhalanyane, associate professor at the University of Pretoria To actually study the ocean, you need a diverse team of scientists with different capabilities and expertise.This article first appeared on CapeTalk :
