We would like to express our immense gratitude to the couple of Pelagos Institute's donators, that offered to cover the entire construction cost of the R/V "Nereis", a research vessel designed for the needs of the Institute's programs, and grant us its usage free of charge. The magnitude of this touching and valuable donation, which opens up new horizons for us, as well as the fact that the donators wish to remain anonymous, will always remind us that real and conscious supporters of the environment do exist.
