Research Vessels

PISCO utilizes a fleet of research vessels to carry out its oceanographic and subtidal surveys. Each vessel has been specially designed and outfitted to conduct scientific missions specific to PISCO. The accrual of these research platforms over PISCO's first few years has allowed the geographic scope of our research program to grow annually.
