PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Inland Waters project will help us to master the logistics and mechanics of setting up stations underwater, form the team, etc. before engaging in more complex diving activities in the Baltic Sea. Target sites are quarries with mines frequently dived where we see deteriorating visibility probably due to agricultural activities. Following we will also add some of the most known lakes such as Saimaa. Our short-term goal is to ramp up a Project Baseline team, create a sense of purpose, learn the practices of establishing sites/stations in challenging conditions like cold/dark waters. Then our long-term goal is to monitor temperature and visibility fluctuations in inland waters key sites and then with the team start a second project in the Baltic Sea.
