Global Ocean Environment Survey
Project is inactive
More than 60% of global biomass is made up of tiny animals and plants less than 1mm! They are the life support of the planet and at a critical tipping point. Ocean pollution and acidification has already reduced numbers to 50% and without action we face total marine system collapse. The GOES (Global Oceanic Environmental Survey) Foundation need the international sailing community to set up mini labs on their boats to collect and filter water samples for tiny particles and plankton twice a day, providing crucial data to turn the tide. They provide plankton sampling equipment to yachts crossing oceans, where there is a lack of information on oceanic micro plastic and priority toxic chemicals to collect thousands of vitally important samples of plankton from remote places all around the globe for toxic chemical analysis.
