Port of Gaeta

Outdoor lesson by the Caboto Foundation and Micromar

The Micromar project promotes contacts in the educational field, realizing the twinning between the Majorana Institute and the Fermi High School of Gaeta with an outdoor lesson at the Caboto Foundation with the collaboration of the A.I.P.U. and the boat trip in the waters of the Gulf of Gaeta.

The project, now in its second year, saw the participation of male and female students in the initiative for the protection of the Mediterranean Sea from pollution by microfibres and micro plastics.
