By its decision, the Council of Ministers authorized here on Wednesday the entry and stay of the Romanian research vessel Mare Nigrum in the maritime space of the Republic of Bulgaria for the purpose of conducting a joint international scientific expedition in the Black Sea from September 1 until September 20, 2025.

The aim of the expedition is to provide verification data necessary for improving local remote sensing products (such as classification of water types and algal blooms), as well as for characterizing the carbonate system in the area of the Danube sediment plume. Additionally, the expedition will offer practical training opportunities in methods for monitoring and assessing marine habitats to staff and trainees from the Institute of Oceanology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IO-BAS) and the Romanian National Institute for Research and Development on Marine Geology and Geo-ecology.
