Minister for the Environment, Dr. John Cortes, today unveiled the Department of the Environment’s newest asset, a ten metre cabin cruiser, dubbed 'Storm Petre'l. Dr. Cortes noted that the ship was a Research and Monitoring vessel primarily. He added that although the department does a lot of research already ‘it has to beg, steal and borrow’. Dr. Cortes went on to say that when the Department is deployed to carry out research or dives or to rescue birds, they will now be able to carry out their own work. Also with the help of an additional RHIB to be called 'Darwin' the Department will be able to monitor what is happening in the surrounding waters, more extensively.
