Research Vessels
The Naos marine laboratory has a fleet of three small boats that are stored on the Naos dock and deployed by crane as needed. These boats support research within a radius of about 100 km of the lab and provide access to an extensive range of marine and shoreline habitats in the northern part of the Gulf of Panama, including Las Perlas Archipelago. The two smaller boats, a 15-foot Boston Whaler and the 24-foot Agujón, also can be taken by trailer for research in other areas of Panama.
