For the first time in the history of Georgia a scientific research ship will launch an acoustic investigation into fish resources on Georgia’s Black Sea coast.

The ship is staffed by both foreign scientists and specialists from the National Environment Agency of Georgia.

The purpose of the scientific study is to look into the potential of the Black Sea coastal resources, which will help further develop fisheries in Georgia.

In 1995-2001 acoustic research in Georgia was implemented with a Ukrainian scientific ship.

The conducted studies were not perfect, which significantly affected the correctness of the assessment and the efficiency of the management of the field”, read the press release by the National Environment Agency of Georgia.
