World Environment Day

In the spotlight, a summer project that fits in perfectly with this day: the Arvor expedition.
Initiated by Sailowtech, 18 students will take turns on board the Mauritius from July 18 to August 11. In the heart of the English Channel, they will be testing “low-tech” measuring devices and taking scientific samples to characterize the concentration of nano-plastics, qualify the flow of CO2 between the ocean and the atmosphere in real time, and carry out bioacoustic studies on cetaceans.

“Low-Tech” refers to objects, techniques, know-how and practices integrating the notion of sustainability, collective resilience and cultural transformation in the face of climate change. The scientific instruments used on board aim for technological simplicity while minimizing energy and resource consumption.

Part of the Pacific team and Sailowtech met at Camp Ocean Day (May 18, 2024) to exchange and share views on this fantastic project.
