Sail Against Plastic

Our Mission The aim of our pioneering scientific research voyage to the icy waters surrounding Svalbard is to make the invisible pollutants of the Arctic Ocean visible. We will be collecting vital baseline data on some of the non-visible pollutants that pervade the seas here, including marine plastics and man-made noise. Through the creative use of film, photography and art, we hope to increase public awareness by making our findings educational and engaging, whilst highlighting the actions needed to preserve this spectacular region. But this expedition is only possible with your help. Be part of the solution to save our incredible oceans: please consider supporting our project to enable us to make the unseen seen. Any donations – no matter how small – will be hugely appreciated. https://crowd.science/campaigns/sail-plastic-collaborative-sailing-expedition-investigating-unveiling-invisible-pollution-arctic-ocean/ So far, we have engaged with school children about the impacts of single-use plastics, surveyed locally for microplastics, hosted beach cleans and engaging film screenings, have danced our hearts out at our Ceilidh Against Plastic and Gig Against Plastic events. All these events have enabled us to engage with the public about the issues of single-use plastics and how areas which seem pristine and untouched, can be tainted with actions here in the UK. We want to be part of the solution and help communities to come together to be innovative and forward-thinking to stem the plastic tide.
