45° e 46° TRAVERSATA PALERMO-TUNISI
Entrambe le traversate sono state caratterizzate da ottime condizioni meteo, che hanno permesso di avvistare numerosissime Caretta caretta, e diversi gruppi di Stenella coeruleoalba, Tursiops truncatus e lungo la tratta Tunisi-Palermo, Delphinus delphis.
Abbandante purtroppo la presenza di Macro rifiuti galleggianti.
Si ringrazia l'equipaggio della M/N Catania (Grimaldi Group)
a presto
