The Race for Water Ambassador Vessel well arrived in Cuba on July 20, after shocking meetings with plastic debris at sea on the cruise since Bermuda !
During this stopover the vessel will welcome a series of students visit, a "Plastic Waste to Energy" workshop, a microplastics workshop and a very expected scientific mission on microplastics carried out by Hans Peter Arp with two NGI's colleagues of him, Linn Merethe Brekke Olsen and Oyvind Lilleng. A Cuban scientific crew from the CEAC will join us especially for these WEATHER-MIC - JPI OCEANS mission in Cuba.

So exciting that the vessel has now landed on Cuban shores! Me and the NG/WEATHER-MICI team are looking forward to the exciting Scientific mission in Cuba, and collaborating with local Cuban investigators, lead by Prof. Carlos Alonso Hernandez (CEAC).
