In the framework of the PORTOS
project (Ports towards energy self-sufficiency), funded by the European
Interreg Atlantic Area call, the Port of Vigo invites you to dive into the
underwater observatory "Nautilus".
In this context, from May 1 to
June 15, the Nautilus will have its doors open so you can learn a little
more about the daily life of the Port of Vigo and the projects it is working
on, as well as discovering the life that lives under its waters.
The visits to the underwater observatory are guided, totally free and have an approximate duration of 30 minutes. They are intended for school groups and groups (by reservation) and for the general public (without reservation), according to the following days and times:

The initiative, coordinated by the Vigo Port Authority, has achieved the colonization of 170 species in biomimetic structures and the recovery of 0.2 hectares of protected seagrass beds. Carlos Botana highlights that the success of NaturPorts positions Vigo as an international benchmark in the blue economy and port sustainability.
The body analyzed the balance of actions carried out in 2025 and the lines of work planned for this year. Stella Maris assisted 550 crew members during the past year and the Port Police collected more than 3,000 toys with its Christmas campaign. The Committee discussed the creation of an operational subcommittee and possible funding channels for future actions.
