Phreatic organisation alongside Global Underwater Explorers (GUE) is working to arrange a multitude of project sessions in the wonderful caves and shipwrecks of Sardinia (2020).
Essentially, the over-riding aim of all the projects is to support current (and new) research, to develop educational seminars and to promote the conservation of the natural and cultural local resources (the aquifer of the area inland Gulf of Orosei).
Campaigns in 2020 will be focused on multiple topics:
– provide support for the ‘Dive for Antibiotics’ organisation and Strathclyde University (Scotland) by collecting sediment samples in “extreme environments”. Samples will be used to study actinobacteria and antibiotics resilience. 12th-17th April
– University of Chieti will spearhead geomorphology activities to connect underwater caves with the karst features above the Supramonte plateau. 25th-31st July.
– continue paleonthological survey of Monk Seals bones to support previous research, publish new scientific papers and document the present situation. 24th-29th May.
– Digital survey and re-survey of local caves using mNemo units, 3D models based on photographic modelling of cross sections and publishing of the data on local cave online database. 3rd-8th May.
– Exploration and cartography of Cala Luna Resurgence. April and August
– Photogrammetry sessions, to document both caves (5th-10th July) and wrecks (KT 13th-16th June and Ugo Bass 2nd-7th Augusti) in the Gulf of Orosei
– Open water documentation of a section of the Gulf of Orosei, shallow coastline and deepwater canyon.
Phreatic heavily rely on volunteers joining citizen science and documentation campaigns; and welcome divers with different background, specific skills and personal abilities.
In 2020 campaign the organisation will continue the previous efforts or introduce the new volunteers for the first time to project diving and goal oriented activities.
