Research cruise

A research cruise is a scientific expedition on a ship, aimed at studying the ocean, marine life, and underwater ecosystems. Scientists and researchers collect data on various topics such as water temperature, salinity, and the abundance of fish or plankton. These journeys allow them to explore uncharted areas, monitor environmental changes, and assess the health of marine habitats. Research cruises play a vital role in enhancing our understanding of the ocean's role in the Earth's climate and biodiversity, contributing valuable information that can inform conservation efforts and policy decisions.
