HIGHLIGHTS
Purpose and Values
Cassiopea is an historic sailing boat captained by biologist and SEA BEYONDer Carmelo Isgrò, Founder and Director of the MuMa Milazzo Sea Museum. Restored from an ancient wooden sailing boat with the support of SEA BEYOND, it now sails the Mediterranean divulging the beauty of the sea to inspire us to protect it.
Cassiopea is equipped with modern oceanographic research instruments that allow for the monitoring and study of marine environments and anthropic impacts. This floating lab and storytelling platform travels to areas of outstanding natural beauty as well as to those degraded by human activity, raising awareness of the seriousness of environmental pollution.
