Svalbard Research Charter
Svalbard, Norway - Svalbard, Norway
Sail Against Plastic: Making the Non-visible, visible.
The aim of this expedition is to identify levels of non-visible pollution, in particular microplastic in the waters around Svalbard. As a very remote area, with little human interactions our aim is to identify levels of microplastic pollution in these waters. Plastic accumulation in remote areas could possibly be overlooked, due to the lack of nearby pollution sources, as a result of low population densities.
A major focus of this expedition will be to convey the impacts of non-visible pollution to the public thought the use of art (including photography and film, illustration, writing and music). We want to combine creativity, science and technology to give this expedition a lasting and meaningful impact that stretches beyond a scientific paper. With a team of 18 available we have scope to gather a team that involves a range of these skills.
