Research Catamaran Mya
‘Mya’ is equipped with a dry and wet laboratory (including a seawater supply) for material examination and preparation for further analysis. By virtue of its catamaran design, the ‚Mya‘ can land on sand banks at low tide, thus serving as a temporary laboratory or enabling research work on otherwise inaccessible sand banks and mussel beds. Primary activities are research trips and course excursions for up to 12 persons.
The catamaran is operated from the island of Sylt.
