OceaSciences
Raise awereness and act to protect the ocean
OceaSciences, it is 5 young french sailing, nature and sciences enthusiasts willing to make
a difference and protect the ocean
What are OceaSciences and the ExploraGyre project?
Environmental protection has become a key issue for human society. Marine ecosystems are particularly endangered: while essential for our Blue Planet, they get more and more polluted. As young scientists and engineers, we have to face this reality and act against it. Thus, we created OceaSciences, our association, bearing the ExploraGyre project. The latter is a one-year scientific and ecological adventure aboard a sailing boat. Our enemy is microplastic debris. This sea poison, without any antidote so far, is mainly localized in the gyre center, a large circular marine current. Our aim is to bring new and necessary knowledge about marine plastic pollution and to share them with as many people as possible. Welcome to our website, please explore it and share with us on social networks.
