Visit of the boat Cassiopea in our Port !

Dear boaters,

⛵ The sailing boat Cassiopea came from Sicily to the Port of Beaulieu Plaisance from June 9 to 14, 2025, as part of the UNOC!

A big thanks to Carmelo Isgro, biologist and founder of the Museum of the Sea in Milazzo, who came to raise awareness among young children by turning them into “scientists for a day”!

The little Berlugans discovered the research equipment on board:

  • the hydrophone used to hear “the voice” of cetaceans and noise pollution
  • the microscope and the stereoscope in order to observe seawater with plankton and microplastics

🌍 Follow the adventures of the Cassiopea on: https://www.cassiopeaproject.com/ and on Instagram @cassiopea___project!

Sincerely,

THE PORT OFFICE OF BEAULIEU PLAISANCE
