The University of Plymouth is working with Ocean Warrior and other marine science organisations across Plymouth on a ground-breaking initiative to demonstrate the importance and feasibility of net zero marine science.
The collaboration - which also involves the Marine Biological Association and Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) - aims to provide a platform for the delivery of marine science that will inform international environmental policy.
It is also envisaged the partnership will contribute to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while leaving no environmental impacts.
The Ocean Warrior programme has been developed by explorer Jim McNeill. It seeks to showcase the viability of traditional sail vessels in delivering net zero marine science, and provide a state-of-the-art ocean-going platform for science and innovation delivery as part of a global ocean observing system.
Designed to collect critical scientific measurements from remote areas of the Arctic Ocean in order to build up an improved picture of the changes taking place due to climate change and other factors, it will also help to 'ground-truth' data collected via satellites.
