The ‘Ya’ is participating in the survey project to take samples to survey the oceans and seas on micro plastics.
In an earlier article we wrote about the worrying state of the ocean. The chemicals and plastics polluting the oceans and plankton, the number one CO2 ‘converter’ to Carbon, is diminishing on a mass scale.
The data about this problem are poor. Now, the GOES foundation (Global Ocean and Environmental Survey) has organized a Citizens (Sailors) Science Project. They armed ‘Ya’ with a sample tube, a microscope, an app on the computer, and a manual how to do it all.
Watch the movie here how we take samples to check the microplastics in the ocean.
Are you a sailor and interested in participating? mail GOES foundation and ask what you can do.
