Ocean Missions

In 2020 I filed an application to go on a sail expedition around Iceland with an organisation called Ocean Missions. I had randomly found this organisation online and I applied without thinking I would actually get accepted. But I did, and I traveled to Iceland (during the pandemic I might add, which made me have to get special permits from the Icelandic government to enter the country) and boarded the old schooner Opal.

I had a life changing week learning about and doing research on the ocean. We examined micro plastics in fish, pollution in the water, marine life quality, plastic waste washed on on super remote beaches etc. And I met some incredible people who run this organisation and whos' passion for sustainability is contagious.

I made a little vlog style documentary from the trip. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cTneblVD40&t=3s

I also wrote an article on it:
