Many people contributed to the success of this cruise.
Firstly, we wish to thanks the Captain, Vincenzo Lubrano Lavadera, the officers and crew of R/V Urania for their great professionalism and big efforts in assuring the success of the cruise. The project was mainly funded by EU's MFSTEP project, with a substancial amount given by Italian CNR for ship time.
G.Bortoluzzi thanks Dr. Schiano and Mr. Borghini for the hospitality on board.
